Boards of Canada - Reach for the Dead

This video for a new Boards of Canada track called "Reach for the Dead" emerged recently. If it is an official Boards of Canada video, I think that would make it the first. It is the first official Boards of Canada video. It was directed by Neil Krug, who previously directed a fan video for "In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country".

There are elements of every stage of BoC's career from Music Has the Right to Children onwards in this track; the synth line that runs through the whole thing sounds like something from The Campfire Headphase,  the drums evoke the first two albums and the arpeggio that comes in around 2:20 brings to mind the In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country EP. I hope the rest of Tomorrow's Harvest is a bit more upbeat, but to be honest I'll take what I can get.
