Jun 12, 2013The silver lining around the eight-year wait between albums is that my yearning for more BoC sent me on deeper voyages through their catalog until I had absorbed every vibration. At its bleakest, Tomorrow's Harvest never loses its undercurrent of optimism. For the experienced listener, BoC combines heart and brain in music that evokes faint memories of some forgotten, but beloved, home.

Jun 11, 2013Boards of Canada is back. That's all you need to know actually. The same sound you've listened to for years, remade fresh by the only two who can make it happen. Best album this year hands down.

Apr 24, 2014It sounds like pure Sci-Fi, but inspired on real humankind issues. The shortest tracks are the most deep and fascinating ones.
Im still shocked how their music is very well known and they dont even have to play live. If you search on YouTube 'Boards of Canda Live', you will find nothing. -
Jun 18, 2013What I love about this album is that BoC are still BoC and it is still the best ambient music to date. But it is also completely different. BoC were never so dark, so ambient and so non-melodic. But the atmosphere remains and that's what was initially that what made BoC so special, wasn't it?

Oct 29, 2015This may not be the most compelling or even vibrant BoC album, but it brings something new to the table, sadly not everyone will enjoy this new music tempo, but its just as amazing as all the other albums released by them.
10/10 masterpiece, however this album can get kinda dull. -
Jan 2, 2017If people cant stand there not being a melody all the time-this album is not for them. If people cant stand not having a classic downtempo breakbeat-this album is not for them. But for the rest of us who genuinely appreciate sound design and old film soundtracks will have a great time listening to this open ambient masterpiece.

Jun 11, 2013Although not as striking as their debut album Music Has the Right to Children, Tomorrow's Harvest is everything i had hoped for in a return from Boards of Canada. It has a feeling of fallout, what to expect after a cataclysmic event, and each track is its own part of that journey. There are throwbacks to Boards of old, and also new ventures into their sound scape and i can't stop listening to it.

Jun 17, 2013I'm not sure how I missed this band. I search for new music all the time and I luckily came across Boards of Canada through metacritic. This is one of the best cd's I've ever heard. It takes you to a completely new place. Would recommend to anyone!

Jul 25, 2013Listened to this after saw it on a top-seller list; I don't have any prior knowledge of the band and sure I am missing something here. Nothing special really happens; it's like an OST to a video game like Mass Effect or something. Why the fuzz?

Nov 17, 2013Another amazing release from one of the pioneers of "IDM". The album is much darker than their previous release The Campfire Headphase, but satisfying nonetheless. I just wish it didn't take them 7 years to release the album.

Dec 20, 2021A modest sublime dose of nostalgia from the minds that brought you "Music has the right to children".
Could perfectly operate as a score to a Sundance film darling this is good instrumental music . The ambience isn't meandering and the record has a kit to say if you'll let it.

MagnetJul 17, 2013Though it's easily the group's densest, most challenging release to date, Tomorrow's Harvest will likely gratify anyone willing to dig deep enough to reap its wonders. [No. 100, p.53]
-
Q MagazineJul 10, 2013Tomorrow's Harvest delivers oceans of spare, mellow and melodic electronica, but what it doesn't offer is much in the way of surprises. [Aug 2013, p.98]

Jul 8, 2013The moody synthesizer soundscapes of Tomorrow’s Harvest reveal their rewardingly intricate layers and details with repeated listens.
