Lately, I love listening to this mix in the morning while I have my coffee.

Would it be crass for me to plug my Monday morning radio show, The A.M.? Definitely aims for that Boards of Canada hazy haunted headspace in the first hour, then gradually gets more psychedelic and shoegazy as it goes. Airs live and archives on Canada’s best campus/community station, CJSW in Calgary.

The mix is by Gabriel O. The songs are by Boards of Canada.

BOC has always been my absolute favorite! Are there any bands that compare? (Because BOC just can’t put out enough music fast enough!).
Am always looking for good suggestions…

A lot of Nicolas Jaar is in that range. A little more rhythmic though, which I like.

No one does it quite like them, but early Black Moth Super Rainbow definitely hits that vibe. Record labels like Ghost Box, Castles in Space (especially Concretism), Werra Foxma and Woodford Halse are all worth checking out, too.
