Boards of Canada are a Scottish electronic music duo consisting of the brothers Mike Sandison and Marcus Eoin. Signing first to Skam followed by Warp Records in the 1990s, they received recognition following the release of their debut album, Music Has the Right to Children, on Warp in 1998. They followed with the acclaimed albums Geogaddi (2002), The Campfire Headphase (2005) and Tomorrow's Harvest (2013). The duo's work, largely influenced by media and electronic music from the 1970s, incorporates vintage synthesiser tones, samples, analog equipment, and hip hop-inspired beats. It has been described by critics as exploring themes related to nostalgia, as well as childhood memory, science, environmental concerns and esoteric subjects. The duo have been referred to as cryptic and reclusive; they have made extensive use of subliminal messaging in their music, have utilised alternate reality games for promotion, rarely grant interviews and have not performed live since 2000. In 2012, Fact described them as "one of the best-known and best-loved electronic acts of the last two decades".
