The Band formed initially as a Group in 1986 before becoming a Duo in the 1990s.  Boards Of Canada Signed First to SKAM Records and then They were signed by Warp Records Back in the 1990s. The Duo received Recognition After Releasing Their Debut Album Music Has The Right Children in 1998. They followed Their Debut Album with the Critically Acclaimed Albums Geogaddi (2002), The Campfire Headphone (2005) and Tomorrow’s Harvest  (2013). “One of the Best Known and Loved Electronic  Musical Acts of the Last Two Decades.” by Music Critics.

       

The Duo’s work is Largely Influenced by Outdated Media and the Electronic Music of the 1970s which Incorporates Vintage Synthesizers,Sampling, Hip Hop inspired Beats, and Analog Equipment. Analog Equipment is a Combination of Both Analog Machine and Analog Media that can together Measure, Record, Reproduce, Receive or Broadcast Continuous Information.  Their Music has been Described as Exploring Themes related to Nostalgia as well as Childhood Memories, Science, Environmentalism, and Esoteric Subjects. Esoteric Subjects pertain to Extremely Unusual and Understood, or liked by Only a Small Number of People Especially those with Special Knowledge.

       

When it comes to Locus Toybox the Artist says it Best in Their Own Words: “My name is David Firth, I make all sorts of things like cartoons and pictures and music. This is my main solo music project. I start up different projects all the time, but this is one I keep coming back to. It’s a mixture of real instruments, samples and synth. I try and keep it as organic sounding as possible. I don’t know if you can dance to Locust Toybox, but you’re welcome to try.”

Description by David Firth: Salad Fingers is 20 years old so here is a special episode revisiting where it all began. In the original 2004 style.

Videos Below in Chronological Order:

  • Not Stanley | I Am Not A Serial Killer
  • Not Stanley | The Supermarket Is To Expensive
  • Not Stanley | Ain’t Got Shit
  • Not Stanley – The Last Episode

FINAL EPISODE IN THE CREATOR’S OWN WORDS: “Recorded July 2010 (the same session as all the other episodes) So here it is. The last of all the Not Stanley content. An extra long final episode using all the bits that I didn’t use before. This is both a prequel and a sequel since the part at the start in the shop was the first thing I recorded and gives context to later episodes in which he says things like “I went BACK down to the system office” and the part at the end was the last thing I recorded. I stuck it all together in a big lump and finally got around to animating it. It looks a bit nicer in HD I think.” David Firth

Salad Finger – Market

Welcome to this Week’s Cure for Monday featuring SALAD FINGERS – MARKET By the One and Only David Firth. This is the Latest Installment in the Ongoing SALAD FINGERS Saga (The Entire Series is Posted Here for Your Connivence).

Six Months ago Firth Posted “SALAD FINGERS AND THE LOCAL TEACUP” which was a Deviation from SALAD FINGERS Animated Format, and was instead Stop Motion Using a Plush Salad Fingers Doll.  Now with SALAD FINGERS – Market it feels Nostalgic in many ways to the Early Days of  the Classic SALAD FINGERS with Short Run Time, The Absence of Overarching Storyline, and Choppier Animation. To put it Simply SALAD FINGERS – MARKET returns the Series to its Original Nature as a Creepily Disturbing land Simple Animated Series. The Cherry onto of this Surreal Sunday is the Return of the Character HUBERT CUMBERLAND!

Plot: Salad Fingers runs His own Market Stall but has some Issues with a Thirsty Local and the Surrounding Wildlife.
