Audio CD Description

This Scottish duo's third album is their most shoegazer-y and gorgeous. For the first time, acoustic and electric instruments intrude on their landscape, which brings them closer to the work of artists like Four Tet and M83. But there's an intricacy to their beats and a strange, underwater quality to their samples that's strictly BoC. It's weird woozy music that's lovely and alien. "Dayvan Cowboy,"for instance, is a slow-paced bit of moody psychedelia; the drums don't even kick in until two thirds of the way through. The hypnotic, analog synth-driven "Farewell Fire"sounds like some lost tune by space-kraut pioneers Cluster. This is music you listen to when drugs don't work anymore; it's more reliable and a whole lot cheaper besides. "Oscar See Through Red Eye,"one of the more percussive songs, is perfect for languid late night dancing, but most of the album is sublimely made for the bean bag chairs.


Comments From Our Customers

The Campfire Headphase

Like others have mentioned this album explores some new territory while still remaining very much the BoC we all know. The addition of guitars and the type of beats on some of the tracks definitely give the album a more "folksey" touch, almost reminiscent of Beck in places, but the slightly off key melodies and amazing atmospheres are typical trademark BoC. The production is top-notch although I must say it's almost too clean and big in places, thus giving the album a more commercial sound...personally I liked the slight grittiness and sort of lo-fi feel of some of their past efforts more, but like I said the quality of the production here is very high and there are plenty of layers, shifts and general madness in all of the tracks to guarantee repeated listenings while trying to absorb it all in. Overall, an interesting album and an interesting evolution in BoC's sound that some might like more and some less. Probably a more accessible disc than some of the others so if you're not familiar with the band yet this might be a good place to start...then get Music Has the Right to Children and then Geogaddi.


really good

the first time i listened to this album i must not have been in the mood for it. Its fairly different from the usual BOC sound, with the inclusion of some acoustic guitars, the album to me sounds alot darker, like a sort of night time driving music. Definately brings creative thoughts into my head while i'm driving home from work.


Sober Psychedelic Trip

On One of my recent trips to my favorite Record Store while checking on the electronica section I came across this new album by BOC and I was thrilled , got it in a heartbeat,no need to make a decision here.
