{"product_id":"inferno","title":"Inferno","description":"\u003cp\u003eInferno is the fifth studio album by Scottish electronic duo Boards of Canada — comprising brothers Michael Sandison and Marcus Eoin — released on 29 May 2026 via Warp Records and their own imprint Music70. It is the duo's first full-length record in nearly 13 years, following Tomorrow's Harvest (2013), and was announced on 22 April 2026 following a month-long campaign of cryptic VHS teasers, billboard placements, and online speculation, culminating in sold-out global listening sessions across Tokyo, Berlin, Barcelona, London, Glasgow, New York, and Los Angeles. The 18-track, approximately 70-minute album was produced by Sandison and is available on CD, digital, standard black 2LP gatefold vinyl, and a limited special edition on red translucent 2LP vinyl in a triple gatefold sleeve with a 16-page booklet and a hexagonal flexi-disc bonus track.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThematically, Inferno draws on religion, spiritual damnation, technological anxiety, and what Beats Per Minute described as \"the fragmentation and erosion of memory\" and \"the concept of human performativity.\" The album is structured in three acts, opening with the lead single \"Prophecy at 1420 MHz\" — described by Still Listening Magazine as one of the most attention-grabbing tracks the duo has released since \"Dayvan Cowboy\" — and moving through highlights including \"Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan,\" \"Naraka,\" \"Blood in the Labyrinth,\" and closer \"I Saw Through Platonia.\" While the album retains the duo's signature analogue warmth, lo-fi beats, and cut-up vocal samples, reviewers noted a cleaner production, greater cinematic scope, and a more grounded political urgency than their earlier work. Beats Per Minute called it \"the pinnacle of their output to date,\" while File Under Fire awarded it 9\/10, describing it as \"the sound of memory corroding in real time.\" The album reached number three on the UK Albums Chart, the highest chart position in the band's career.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl \/ 2LP","offer_id":53630369038650,"sku":"38592","price":49.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Vinyl \/ 2LP - Deluxe Edition - Transparent Red Vinyl","offer_id":53630369071418,"sku":"38593","price":65.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-06-19_at_5.22.01_PM.jpeg?v=1781904331","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/inferno","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
