an album cover by boards of canada, the text in question is the band name, boards of canada. i don’t know the font off hand but it looks like something that was popular in around the beginning of the 80s, though it could be made to look like that. thanks for your help!

I think it is a Harry Obese modified, some of the characters (R, F, N, A) are exactly the same. I just have found digitized the Squeeze version but still you can see it.
There is a sample in the Phil’s Homage To The Alphabet catalog (p.205).

Ignacio is correct. You can get someone close with Neo Sans Ultra.
