Boards of Canada

Boards of Canada are the Scottish duo of the brothers Mike Sandison and Marcus Eoin, who grew up in a small coastal town in the north of Scotland. They make electronic music with vintage and analogue equipment, hip-hop beats and samples from 1970s public broadcasting, much of it from National Film Board of Canada films, which gave the group its name. Their debut album Music Has the Right to Children (1998) came out on Warp and Skam. Boards of Canada began in 1986, when Eoin joined his brother's band on bass.
