Review
I used to underrate this album so much, but now I've seen the light. This is my fav BOC album (along with MHTRTC). It's so peaceful and unique. This album centers on guitars and synths, while their other projects are synth based. Not that there's anything wrong with that (there isn't), but the guitars and synths together combine to add a very intriguing atmosphere. Dayvan Cowboy almost sounds like a movie soundtrack. This album gave songs time to breathe, while not overstaying their welcome too much. Repition is not a bad thing when it's boards of canada. This is an amazing listen in early summer mornings, the sun shining in a clear, blue sky. Grass is green and vibes are immalculate. You will not regret this listen.
Rating:★★★★☆ (4.5/5)
