Boards of Canada's imaginative, heavily copied sound generally consists of midtempo hip-hop beat patterns, grainy samples, and warm, nostalgic synth melodies reminiscent of 1970s nature documentaries and children's television programs.

The duo have often utilized outdated analog equipment in order to capture a haunting, time-worn feel, and their intentional use of cryptic titles and subliminal messaging has created a cult mystique to their music and imagery.
