Boards Of Canada, it's now official: new album "Inferno" is coming. Listen to the teaser

More than a decade after “Tomorrow's Harvest“, Boards Of Canada are back with a new album. The Scottish duo have announced “Inferno”, due out May 29 on Warp (preorder here), breaking a recording silence that had lasted since 2013.

No full single has been released yet: the first concrete clue is a 42-second teaser shared today, hinting at a return to the band's usual ambiguous, layered sonic textures. You can listen to it below.

The announcement comes after a run-up built in oblique fashion: earlier this month some fans received VHS tapes containing hard-to-decipher audio and video material, followed by the release of a file titled “Tape 05”, whose nature was never clarified.

“Inferno” unfolds over eighteen tracks, with a sequence of titles that dwells on cosmic, spiritual and temporal coordinates, in keeping with the band's imagery. Here's the tracklist and the album cover:

1. Introit
2. Prophecy At 1420 MHz
3. Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan
4. Age Of Capricorn
5. Father And Son
6. Somewhere Right Now In The Future
7. Naraka
8. Acts Of Magic
9. Memory Death
10. The Word Becomes Flesh
11. Into The Magic Land
12. Blood In The Labyrinth
13. Deep Time
14. All Reason Departs
15. Arena Americanada
16. The Process
17. You Retreat In Time And Space
18. I Saw Through Platonia
