A White House social video used Boards of Canada’s “Deep Time” from the album Inferno and paired it with a haunted, degraded VHS-style visual featuring helicopters, rescue boats, the Washington Monument, and a White House logo. The visuals mimic the Scottish duo’s aesthetic. Warp Records and Boards of Canada issued a joint statement saying they do not condone unauthorized use of their music for political messaging. “Deep Time” served as the first preview of Inferno, the duo’s first album in 13 years. The track was originally released as “Tape 05” sent to select mailing list members on a VHS tape. The video’s timing aligns with Inferno’s release date of May 29.
"Warp Records and Boards of Canada do not condone the unauthorised use of their music for political messaging."
"Last night The White House posted a video to their socials that used Boards of Canada's "Deep Time" from their new album Inferno, as well as a haunted, degraded VHS-look - featuring helicopters, rescue boats, the Washington monument and the White House logo - that mimics the Scottish downtempo duo's visual style."
""Deep Time" was the first taste of Boards of Canada's Inferno, their first album in 13 years, we got to hear and was originally released as "Tape 05," which was sent out to select mailing list members on a VHS tape."
"The timing is certainly interesting: Inferno is out tomorrow, May 29."
