"Though demanding repeated listens, Tomorrow’s Harvest distinguishes itself by making intense commitment (e.g. What’s the better way to enjoy it, headphones or stereo, broken-up “side” listens on vinyl vs. one full immersive CD spin?) a welcome task for the summer of 2013." ... Read full review

"It's vintage Boards Of Canada--a beautiful, shimmering, electronic maelstrom of liquid, vintage synths and slo-mo beats. [Jul 2013, p.82]"

"Where the dog-eared, snapshot ambient wooze of Twoism and Geogaddi once harbored a feverish throb, Tomorrow’s Harvest now prickles with hollow spaces: a fragmentary, pixelated symbolism has been lost in the construction of an outline of a broader system." ... Read full review

Although not as striking as their debut album Music Has the Right to Children, Tomorrow's Harvest is everything i had hoped for in a returnAlthough not as striking as their debut album Music Has the Right to Children, Tomorrow's Harvest is everything i had hoped for in a return from Boards of Canada. It has a feeling of fallout, what to expect after a cataclysmic event, and each track is its own part of that journey. There are throwbacks to Boards of old, and also new ventures into their sound scape and i can't stop listening to it.… Expand

The silver lining around the eight-year wait between albums is that my yearning for more BoC sent me on deeper voyages through their catalogThe silver lining around the eight-year wait between albums is that my yearning for more BoC sent me on deeper voyages through their catalog until I had absorbed every vibration. At its bleakest, Tomorrow's Harvest never loses its undercurrent of optimism. For the experienced listener, BoC combines heart and brain in music that evokes faint memories of some forgotten, but beloved, home.… Expand

Although Boards of Canada may not immediately strike a first-time listener as great fun, my own personal joy comes through involving myselfAlthough Boards of Canada may not immediately strike a first-time listener as great fun, my own personal joy comes through involving myself with the music rather than superficially glancing. Dissecting their music, and their clues and tricks, is what allows me to work out the questions I have about the band. Although everything Boards of Canada put into their music is right there in front of me and requires so little to lose myself in, it asks a lot of me to work things out. Although I can now look back at their older material and constantly confirm their intentions to myself, Tomorrow's Harvest will keep me occupied in this respect for just as long. Although I do have questions this time around, that are slight annoyances rather than general wonder, it’s this kind of trickery that keeps Boards of Canada enjoyable and by the time I've worked out everything from their music that I think I possibly can, they'vee left a sizable mark on my life.… Expand

What I love about this album is that BoC are still BoC and it is still the best ambient music to date. But it is also completely different.What I love about this album is that BoC are still BoC and it is still the best ambient music to date. But it is also completely different. BoC were never so dark, so ambient and so non-melodic. But the atmosphere remains and that's what was initially that what made BoC so special, wasn't it?… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 8 years of expecting for such an unispiral monotonous bland album. Only 2 tracks can be compared with previous melody-riched albums: Reach for the Dead & New Seeds. Just can`t believe how some of fans loudly praise it with words "their best album" or "this album changed my life". It seems so ridiculous especially after existing such lush, intricate, truly adventurous album like their "Geogaddi". Almost all the tracks of "Tomorrow's Harvest" were made of two or sometimes three sample loops strengthed for 4-6 minutes. Cant figure out how such boring builded stuff can be enjoyable.… Expand
