\n\tAdd Boards of Canada<\/a> to the long, long list of artists who are not interested in being part of the Trump administration<\/a>\u2018s propaganda machine. On Thursday (May 28), the elusive Scottish electronic duo and their label, Warp Records, issued a joint statement lashing out at the American administration for using the group\u2019s music in a strange new promo video.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tExplore\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p><\/div>\n \t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n <\/p>\n \t<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n See latest videos, charts and news<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n\tThe song \u201cDeep Time,\u201d from the pair\u2019s first new album in 13 years, Inferno<\/em><\/a>, which was released on Friday (May 29), is the eerie, wordless soundtrack to haunting, glitchy clip uploaded by the White House featuring ghostly image of a tattered, waving American flag, the presidential seal and Marine One helicopter, a border patrol boat and what appears to be a detention center. <\/p>\n \n\tThe administration offered no context for the 15-second clip<\/a>, whose only caption was the shifty eyes emoji. It is the latest in a daily deluge of social media posts from the White House attempting to go viral through the use of contemporary music, almost always, it seems, without the consent of the artist who created the soundtrack.<\/p>\n \n\tIn this case, in addition to glomming onto Boards of Canada\u2019s music, the clip also appeared to copy their staticky, glitchy VHS tape visual aesthetic, which caused some commenters to lash out and demand the duo take action. \u201cFile a copyright claim,\u201d wrote one, with another imploring, \u201c@boardsofcanada please sue them into oblivion, jfc,\u201d and a third simply asking, \u201cWhat the f\u2013k.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tIn a statement to Billboard<\/em> on Friday morning, a spokesperson for Warp Records said that neither the label nor the band \u2014 comprised of brothers Mike Sandison and Marcus Eoin \u2014 \u201ccondone the unauthorised use of their music for political messaging.\u201d At press time, a spokesperson for White House had not returned Billboard<\/em>\u2018s request for comment on the video.<\/p>\n\n
