In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country is an EP recorded by Boards of Canada and released by Warp Records on 27 November 2000, in between the Scottish duo's landmark releases Music Has the Right to Children and Geogaddi. Like those LPs, it was well received by critics. The original 12" version was pressed on sky-blue vinyl. The four track collection weaved the pair's now familiar motifs of nature, childhood and madness around a central theme: the Branch Davidian religious sect and their Waco retreat. The second track is named after Amo Bishop Roden, the widow of a rival of David Koresh. Roden reoccupied the Waco site after its destruction, sleeping in a ditch near the property until federal authorities who had been keeping her away finally abandoned it. The EP's title refers to the one line of vocals around which the work is based, a vocoder-processed and slowed voice sample (said to be Roden): come out and live in a religious community in a beautiful place out in the country. The EP's artwork features blurred and fragmentary photos of the compound and Davidians, including the aforementioned Roden and the eye of David Koresh. The Davidians theme returns on the group's subsequent album, 2002's Geogaddi. The title track was covered by Mira Calix for the Warp Records compilation Warp20 (Recreated) in 2009.

They followed with the critically acclaimed albums Geogaddi (2002), The Campfire Headphase (2005) and Tomorrow's Harvest (2013).The duo's work, largely influenced by outdated media and electronic music from the 1970s, incorporates vintage synthesizer tones, samples, analog equipment, and hip hop-inspired beats. It has been described by critics as exploring themes related to nostalgia, as well as childhood memory, science, environmental concerns and esoteric subjects. In 2012, Fact summarized them as "one of the best-known and best-loved electronic acts of the last two decades." Warp
