Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest (Warp)



Tomorrow’s Harvest is the name of a US based company whose online store sells dehydrated food, water purifiers, gas masks and everything else your family might need to survive an unspecified disaster. Titling the record thus is a canny act of destabilising listener complacency (...), one that looks back to the 1970s heyday of doomsday literature, where fears of nuclear war and ecological meltdown played out in the pages of sci-fi paperbacks and self-sufficiency manuals. — Abi Bliss
