Boards of Canada announce new album 'Inferno' after 13-year hiatus
After 13 years since 'Tomorrow's Harvest', Scottish electronic duo Boards of Canada (Michael and Marcus Eoin Sandison) are releasing a new album titled 'Inferno' on May 29, 2026, via Warp Records. The announcement followed a viral guerrilla marketing campaign involving mysterious VHS tapes sent to fans, hexagonal posters in London, Manhattan, and Los Angeles, and a cryptic video ('Tape 05') on their YouTube channel. The album contains 18 tracks. The duo, known for their nostalgic and psychedelic sound, emerged in the mid-1990s with EPs 'Twoism', 'Hi-Scores', and 'Aquarius', and gained fame with their 1998 debut 'Music Has the Right to Children'. Their music has been featured in TV shows like 'CSI: Miami', 'Skins', 'Six Feet Under', and films including Paolo Sorrentino's 'Le conseguenze dell'amore'.
