Day 3: a song that makes me happy—Cold Earth
30 days of music, but only Boards of Canada, day 3.
Tough one. Many contenders. Let's go with Cold Earth. We're back in banger territory: it's the best track on Tomorrow's Harvest. High praise.
I've said in the past that BoC melodies somehow seem more like geological finds than compositions. Primal. Woven into the fabric of space. This is one of those.
Why happy? The tune, and the bassline in particular, resolves itself satisfyingly, and every few bars. I think it might induce just a little bit of dopamine. Glorious.
