Experimental Electronic Music
Boards of Canada return in unmistakable form, diving deep into the shadowy downtempo atmosphere that made them legendary — a hypnotic state of consciousness suspended between nostalgia, decay, and dreamlike transmission. “Introit” and “Prophecy At 1420 MHz” are the first two tracks unveiled from the forthcoming album Inferno, arriving May 29, 2026 on Warp Records.
If Tomorrow’s Harvest was the collapse of the physical world, Inferno is the processing of the digital soul. We have moved from a famine of the body to a harvest of the mind.
Boards of Canada 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.
Boards of Canada didn’t just shape how we hear music — they reshaped how we experience reality, and Geogaddi remains their most unsettling proof: a deliberately disorienting, symbol-laced descent where warmth masks dread and mystery is the message.
A memorable snapshot of an era which many longtime Warp aficionados think of fondly as representing the very pinnacle of the label’s musical prowess, and for anyone wishing to delve further into Warp’s back catalog, a handy list of every WAP (singles and EPs with catalog numbers from 1 to 99) and WARP (albums with catalog numbers from 1 to 55) release up to that time was included inside the compilation’s CD booklet.
