"'Introit' begins with a nostalgic synth arpeggio and is akin to a machine powering up, blooming into focus and appropriately teeing up the next song as it dissolves into an ambient crawl. Then 'Prophecy' flies in with a mid-tempo drum beat, roomy synths, and an ominous, ghosted vocal."
"Though Boards of Canada's sound has thoroughly transformed over the last 25 years, the new music almost picks up where their last album, 2013's Tomorrow's Harvest, left off, with soundscapes and electronic rhythms meeting in strange harmony."
"Inferno will arrive everywhere on May 29th via Warp Records. The Scottish duo have announced that they'll be hosting seven special album premiere events, dubbed 'The Inferno Sessions,' in Tokyo, Berlin, Barcelona, London, Glasgow, New York, and Los Angeles on May 22nd."
Boards of Canada unveiled their first official material from the upcoming album Inferno with two opening tracks: 'Introit' and 'Prophecy at 1420 MHz.' 'Introit' features a nostalgic synth arpeggio that builds into focus before dissolving into ambient textures, while 'Prophecy' introduces a mid-tempo drum beat with roomy synths and ghosted vocals. The new music continues the duo's electronic soundscape approach established over 25 years, picking up thematically from their 2013 album Tomorrow's Harvest. Inferno releases May 29th via Warp Records. The Scottish duo will host seven special album premiere events called 'The Inferno Sessions' across Tokyo, Berlin, Barcelona, London, Glasgow, New York, and Los Angeles on May 22nd, with additional listening parties at local record stores on May 28th.
