Boards of Canada announce Inferno (Warp) — May 29, 2026

A meditative glimpse into the project’s tonal landscape

Boards of Canada brothers Mike Sandison and Marcus Eoin today announce Inferno, their first full-length release in thirteen years, marking a significant return for the influential Scottish electronic duo. This forthcoming record expands their unmistakable sonic identity, introducing a darker, more intricately layered atmosphere that refracts their hallmark sense of warped nostalgia through a more shadowed lens.

The announcement follows a carefully orchestrated series of cryptic transmissions, including limited VHS tapes sent to select recipients, enigmatic posters appearing across multiple cities worldwide, and the release of “Tape 05”—a serene collage video imbued with deeply emotive and eerie qualities, offering a meditative glimpse into the project’s tonal landscape. With Inferno, Boards of Canada transform a prolonged period of silence into a statement of intent—one that suggests not merely a return, but a fully realized evolution poised to resonate long after its arrival.

Stay tuned—the story isn’t over. More chapters from the Inferno campaign are just around the corner.
