Boards of Canada have officially announced their new album Inferno, due May 29, 2026, their first full-length in 13 years. The rollout has included cryptic teasers (VHS-style campaigns and a 42-second trailer) and a track snippet released ahead of the album.
Latest highlights
-
Inferno is set for Warp Records release on May 29, 2026, featuring 18 tracks. This marks the duo’s first album since Tomorrow’s Harvest (2013) [BoC’s announcement coverage].
-
The campaign has been characteristically enigmatic, with fans receiving teaser tapes and brief audio clips before formal confirmation. Expect continuing cryptic material and potential physical/limited-edition formats alongside digital releases [coverage roundups].
What to expect
- A signature Boards of Canada blend of hazy ambience, analog textures, and warm nostalgic tones, likely complemented by a wide dynamic range across 18 tracks. Given their history, the album may include mood shifts from contemplative ambience to driftier, melodic passages [general BoC style context].
