The Campfire Headphase is the third studio album by Scottish electronic duo Boards of Canada, released in 2005. Following the unsettling Geogaddi, the brothers decided to take this album in a different direction. While Geogaddi is more of a dark, foreboding journey, The Campfire Headphase is closer to a hazy, sun-bleached trip throughout the countryside. Though it received mostly favorable reviews upon release, it was initially seen as too much of a departure from the traditional BoC sound. However, in recent years, fans have come to view it in a better light.

all lowercase letters: Much like Geogaddi, all the album titles on the back are entirely lowercase.

comment
New Sound Album: This album shifted Boards of Canada's sound into a more guitar-driven, pastoral direction, mainly to avoid pigeonholing. Fans and critics are divided on whether or not this is for the better.

Easter Egg
 The Campfire Headphase (Music) / int_29a39f6
comment
Easter Egg: "Farewell Fire" seems to gradually Fade Out and end the album with 4 minutes of silence. Turning up the volume at this point reveals the song just keeps going at a barely audible volume.

comment
Longest Song Goes Last: "Farewell Fire" is both the longest song on the album, and the final song (not counting the Japanese exclusive "Macquarie Ridge," which comes after it).

Sampling
 The Campfire Headphase (Music) / int_515eeccc
comment
Sampling: Far less than in any other album. The only track which really incorporates any samples is "Chromakey Dreamcoat," which samples this educational film about drug use, and, bizarrely, this Reese's Peanut Butter Cups commercial. "A Moment of Clarity" samples the ending of "Foreign Affair" by The Manhattan Transfer.

Gratuitous Panning
 The Campfire Headphase (Music) / int_5e835a41
comment
Gratuitous Panning: The distorted ending of "Satellite Anthem Icarus" bounces between each channel, eventually settling in the center channel as the song ends. The main synth track on "Slow This Bird Down" slips between the left and right speakers, while the drums and everything else stay anchored in the middle, creating a disorienting effect.

Breather Episode: The Campfire Headphase is a joyful, happy little album sandwiched between the nightmarish Geogaddi and the eerie, desolate Tomorrow's Harvest.

Shout-Out
 The Campfire Headphase (Music) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The title "Oscar See Through Red Eye" is thought to be one to Bad Day on the Midway. At one point, you take control of Oscar, a rat whose vision is tinted red. "Ataronchronon" is actually the name of a Native American tribe part of the Wyandotte Nation. "Chromakey Dreamcoat" seems to be a reference to Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Chroma Key is likely used due to it being a newer technology than Technicolor. "Hey Saturday Sun" is a possible reference to Nick Drake, who released a song titled "Saturday Sun" on his album Five Leaves Left. "84 Pontiac Dream" might be a reference to the car from Knight Rider, which was a 1984 Pontiac Trans-Am.

Musical Squares: A precursor to what would eventually be done in Tomorrow's Harvest, the liner art features blurry, stained photographs (both a mix of family photographs, as well as pictures from old Boeing manuals and an old Pontiac advertisement.
