inferno marks boards of canada’s long-awaited return after thirteen years of silence from the compound, arriving amid growing anticipation. the album retains their signature melodic and atmospheric language while pushing further into the darker, more uneasy territory suggested on tomorrow’s harvest. it also draws on the esoteric textures explored in their 2019 societas x tape mix for warp records’ 30th anniversary, expanding those ideas into a more immersive and layered statement. an increased use of fragmented speech soundbites adds a sharper human presence to their typically distant sonic world, heightening the sense of unease. inferno ultimately deepens and refines their sound, balancing nostalgia, abstraction and latent dread in a way that feels both continuous and subtly transformed.
