Pitchfork interviews Boards of Canada, revealing the unique kinship of the bandmates, their background and approach to making The Campfire Headphase. Perhaps the most salient moment of the interview is when Mike Sandison flat-out rejects what has become the BoC fan’s favorite activity to pass the time waiting for new material:

All the mystery and magic and all this kind of nonsense that built up around the last record got to a point where it was just silly. People were understanding things from our music that we didn’t put in there and were saying there was an evil undercurrent to everything. And we are not like that at all. It was a theme that we wanted to persue on that record but people have understood from that that we always put secret, dark, sinister, and satanic things in our music. And that became more important than the music itself.
