After a decade-plus absence, the Scottish duo returns with a piece that unfolds less like a rave track than a philosophical sci-fi novel’s discursive backroads.
The electronic duo’s first album in over a decade shares more than a release date with Kane Parsons’ liminal horror film.
The duo’s first album since 2013’s Tomorrow’s Harvest arrived via a cryptic campaign and global listening sessions. It confronts the fire of the present through a darker, more direct sound.
After 13 years of silence, Boards of Canada invited 300 listeners into Barnsdall Gallery Theatre for a first encounter with Inferno, a memory-soaked session that felt more like a long-lost transmission than an album preview.
The Warp release lands to a critical dismissal in The Guardian, which finds the Scottish duo’s ideas and execution equally lacking.
The Scottish duo let fans hear their first album in over a decade a week early at sessions in seven cities, adding a rare in-person layer to a typically oblique release.
