Boards of Canada Return with Inferno, Their First Album in 13 Years

Boards of Canada, the Scottish electronic duo composed of brothers Michael Sandison and Marcus Eoin, have released their first studio album in 13 years, titled Inferno. The record continues their signature blend of esoteric knowledge and scientific themes, creating a retro-futurist soundworld. However, critics note that the album loses momentum over its duration, despite being thought-provoking. The duo, known for their cryptic aesthetic and cult following, have not released a full-length since 2010's Tomorrow's Harvest. Inferno was released on Warp Records, the label that has housed the duo since their early career. The album's release has generated significant anticipation among fans and electronic music enthusiasts.
