Boards of Canada return with Inferno, their first album in 13 years, set for release via Warp and featuring 18 tracks.

The tracklist includes names like Introit, Prophecy At 1420 MHz, Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan, Age Of Capricorn, and You Retreat In Time And Space.

A cryptic promotional campaign preceded the release, including VHS teases, hexagonal logo mailers, and a teaser track called Tape 05 that sparked fan speculation.

Posters resembling degraded 1970s family photos appeared in major cities such as London, New York, and Shibuya as part of the teaser rollout.

The duo, hailing from rural Scotland, maintains a sparse media presence and rarely performs live, building a mystique around the project.

Beyond the teaser and artwork, no additional details about the music style or individual tracks were released.

A new musical snippet appeared on the group’s official channels as part of the reveal.

A YouTube promo clip hints at a darker direction within their hauntology sound following Tape 05.

The campaign emphasizes ongoing enigmatic promotion and uncertainty surrounding Inferno, a hallmark of the duo’s approach.

Readers are urged to follow official channels for updates, with links to their site and social accounts.

In the years leading up to Inferno, the pair limited activity to remixes and archival reissues, with a revived website and Morse code messages fueling intrigue.

Prevailing prior teasers included a YouTube upload and a post on an X/BBS-like platform ahead of the official announcement.
