The Pop Corporation

There was no doubt that any new material from Boards of Canada was going to be great, but with high expectation, comes an unbearable worry you might be hyping it up too much and it’s destined to fail.

No fear. There’s the first new, full track from the ‘Inferno’ album, and it’s amazing.

Do you need more info? Aren’t you just going to press play on the video below?

Either way, a gorgeous analogue intro makes way into a sprawling psychedelic wonder, with swirling guitars, chunky rhythms and – without checking and cheating – a sample of Orson Wells from the 80s Transformer animation?

Maybe not. We’re typing this out on our second listen.

Either way, BoC have managed to keep what we love about them, but developed the sound and pushed it further. Allow yourself to get even more excited about this new record.
