Boards of Canada (commonly abbreviated BoC) are a Scottish electronic music duo consisting of brothers Mike Sandison and Marcus Eoin. Their music is reminiscent of the warm, analogue sounds of 1970s media and
contains themes of childhood, nostalgia and the natural world. Mike and
Marcus have mentioned the documentary films of the National Film Board of Canada, from which the group's name is derived, as a source of inspiration. Here, their music accompanies a passage from the 1929 Louise Brooks film, Diary of a Lost Girl.
