Untitled

Tomorrow's Harvest is the fourth studio album by the Scottish electronic music duo Boards of Canada, released on 5 June 2013 on Warp.

Packaging

The front cover artwork for Tomorrow's Harvest features a blurred shot of the city skyline in San Francisco, California, United States. The photograph is believed to have been taken from Alameda Naval Air Station, a closed naval air station in Alameda, on the San Francisco Bay. Two of the tallest buildings in San Francisco's skyline, 345 California Center and 555 California Street, are reversed on the album's artwork.[2] The title, Tomorrow's Harvest, is inspired by Deadly Harvest, a 1977 film about climate change and widespread crop failures in North America. According to The Quietus, "this idea seems to be reflected by the song titles", in particular "Cold Earth", "Sick Times" and "New Seeds", as well as "the album sleeve and the overall mood of the record."[3]

Release

Tomorrow's Harvest's announcement was preceded by a cryptic advertising campaign beginning on Record Store Day 2013. The campaign revealed information about the upcoming release through the distribution of six strings of six-digit numbers.[4] Four of the six codes were released to BBC Radio 1, NPR, Adult Swim and the fansite Twoism; another was released through an unannounced 12" single, "------ / ------ / ------ / XXXXXX / ------ / ------", which contained a brief snippet of music and the code; and a sixth code was featured in a YouTube video. Upon the launch of a new Boards of Canada web site, Cosecha Transmisiones (Spanish for "Harvest Transmissions"), the combined codes were used as a password to allow users access to an exclusive video and link to pre-order Tomorrow's Harvest.[5]

On 23 May 2013, "Reach for the Dead" was premiered on Zane Lowe's show on BBC Radio 1 and released as Tomorrow's Harvest's lead single.[6] On 3 June, Boards of Canada premiered the album through a live stream on YouTube,[7] which caused the band's official web site to crash due to "phenomenal demand."[8] Tomorrow's Harvest was broadcast in full in four independent records stores in Ireland on 7 June and in twenty-six stores in the United Kingdom on 10 June in celebration of the album's release.[9]
