In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country is an EP released by Boards of Canada. It was released on November 27, 2000 by Warp Records between Music Has the Right to Children and Geogaddi.

The concept of the EP alludes to the countryside and nature. Fittingly, the record was pressed on sky-blue vinyl. References to the religious group Branch Davidians are also well-found. The title of the second track, Amo Bishop Roden, is the name of a noted Branch Davidian.^[1] The third track hints towards the location of the Waco compound previously inhabited by the religious collective,^[2] as well as a quote from the aforementioned Amo Bishop Roden. The artwork also features a small picture of David Koresh himself.^[3]
