Day 17: A song that you hear often on the radio—Reach For The Dead

30 days of music but only Boards of Canada, day 17.

A frame from the official video of Reach For The Dead by Boards of Canada

Strange to think that it's now more than 10 years since the release of BoC's most recent LP, Tomorrow's Harvest. (Though with tweaks to their social media bios at the moment, fans are hopeful.)

I recall at the time hearing Reach For The Dead a fair bit on BBC radio, though to this day I didn't realise it had an official video. This exercise has been worth it for that discovery alone.

Brilliantly bleak and atmospheric. An excellent song from an excellent album.
