Boards of Canada are a Scottish electronic music duo consisting of brothers Mike Sandison and Marcus Eoin. They initially signed to Skam Records and later to Warp Records in the 1990s, gaining wider recognition after the release of their debut studio album "Music Has the Right to Children" in 1998. The album was followed by Geogaddi (2002), The Campfire Headphase (2005), Tomorrow's Harvest (2013), and Inferno (2026), all of which contributed to their reputation within electronic music for distinctive production and atmospheric composition.
