Inferno (CD Format)
After thirteen years of silence, Boards of Canada finally return with Inferno—a sprawling and deeply atmospheric new work that expands on the mysterious sonic world the duo has cultivated for decades.
Retaining the signature melodies, analog textures and haunting ambience that have made them one of electronic music’s most influential acts, Inferno also ventures further into darker and more esoteric territory. Drawing inspiration from the cryptic moods explored in Societas X Tape and the ominous landscapes of Tomorrow’s Harvest, the album layers warped synths, degraded samples and increasingly prominent speech fragments into an immersive seventy-minute listening experience.
As always with Boards of Canada, the music feels both nostalgic and unsettling—melodic yet shadowed, familiar yet elusive. The result is a richly textured album that rewards deep listening and reveals new details with every play.
Presented on CD in a 6-panel wallet with a 20-page booklet, Inferno marks a major return from one of electronic music’s most enigmatic and revered acts.
