Boards of Canada – Jacquard Causeway (2013)

Scroll down to content

Anyone who got into BOC because they quite liked the mellow vibes of ‘Davyan Cowboy’ is going to run screaming for the hills after hearing ‘Jacquard Causeway’. It opens with a classic BOC woozy, tape-distorted melody, backed by rumbling bottom-end and a stark rim-shot snare drum. Sounds are piled on top of each other, all to an ominous backbeat, until the sonic clutter becomes quite overwhelming. It’s intense, repetitive and disorientating. A luminous swell of synths finally washes over the track after about six minutes of that relentless racket. Definitely the most extreme thing BOC have ever committed to tape. [Source]
