Boards Of Canada – Trans Canada Highway (LP)

Electronic shuffle rhythms slowly divulge their complexity, welcoming us to BOC’s thousand subtle shades of grey.
Using the sun-kissed “Dayvan Cowboy” as its starting point, Boards of Canada’s “Trans Canada Highway” mini album / EP follows on from last year’s “Campfire Headphase” album. At just under 30 minutes, it’s a six track hallucinogenic road trip of isolation and exploration. Neatly, the EP ends up almost where it started, with a moody, twilight distillation of “Dayvan Cowboy”.
