When listening to the delightfully unobtrusive title track from Boards of Canada’s 2000 EP, the listener might imagine a pleasant country cabin or camping spot, a summer remembered through a warm haze of nostalgia, or perhaps something best depicted by an oil painting, but that listener would be incorrect on all counts. Actually, The “Beautiful Place Out In the Country” the song refers to is the Branch Davidian headquarters in Waco, Texas, where 54 adults and 21 children took their own lives as Federal Agents stormed the building.

Still, lovely tune.
