Boards of Canada release 18‑track album 'Inferno'

musicMay 29, 202654548

Boards of Canada released Inferno, an 18-track LP running just over an hour. The record includes songs such as "Blood In The Labyrinth" and "The Word Becomes Flesh." The music leans into denser, darker textures and cinematic motifs while keeping the duo's analog, tape-saturated production. For listeners of ambient, downtempo, and electronic music, Inferno is a substantial new entry worth exploring for its mood and scope.

Such a pleasant surprise. I thought Tomorrow’s Harvest would be the last we heard from them; it had such a sense of finality to it.

I love what I've heard so far. After a few tracks, I had to tell the bf that I wanted to wait to listen to it later this evening, as I needed something a bit more light this morning.

I’m going to hear it tonight at Audium in SF. 170+ speakers in full darkness! So I’m holding off hearing it until then.

Saying "Sorry, I'm late cause the new Boards of Canada album dropped today" is the most solid and bulletproof excuse you can get.
