Boards of Canada – Dayvan Cowboy
Stumbled across this track by a long night clicking through ‘influenced by’ links on Wikipedia (great way to find new bands by the way). An electronic ambient tune that begins with a dreamy guitar riff that could easily be filed under ‘background music’ on first impressions, but wait for the gear shift 2 minutes in and you will realise why I’m writing about this track.
With echo’s of Zero7 and Lemon jelly mixed with great strings complimented with confused clashing symbols, the song seems too hectic to be classified as chillout. I would say more ‘uplifting’.
Can’t wait to listen to the rest of the album and indeed their whole back catalogue… (spotify is a little slim on BoC tracks so try YouTube for more.
For a bonus, also check out their song ‘Roygbiv’ on spotify, It’s amazing how this track brings imagery of cassette tapes, 80’s cartoons and those documentaries you were made to watch at primary school. (for me anyway).
