Boards of Canada are an electronic music duo formed of two Scottish brothers, Mike Sandison and Marcus Eoin.[[note]]For a while they pulled a WhiteStripes and pretended they were just friends; when asked why they explained that they didn't want to attract needless comparisons to Music/{{Orbital}}, another SiblingTeam electronic band.[[/note]] They are known for their psychedelic, trippy sound constructed by a combination of electronic and normal instrumentation, heavy sound manipulation and processing, trip hop-influenced beats and frequent [[{{Sampling}} samples]], usually drawn from old [[TheSeventies seventies]] media (their name is a nod to the documentaries produced by the NationalFilmBoardOfCanada, which they were heavily influenced by as their family moved to Canada during their childhood) and field recordings. This gives their music a more pastoral and human character compared to other purely synthetic electronic bands. A frequent metaphor/comparison among reviewers is that their music sounds like "the last sounds of a dying machine from TheSeventies that just got recently excavated," or something along those lines.
