\n\tNo, it\u2019s not a drill: Boards of Canada<\/a> is all set to release an album of new material.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe electronic music act will crush a decade-plus drought next month with the release of Inferno<\/em>, an 18-track double album that will spread across 70 minutes.<\/p>\n

\n\tInferno<\/em>\u2018s tracklist, which can be seen below, doesn\u2019t feature the meditative track \u201cTape 05,\u201d which BoC and Warp Records dished up last week, an easter egg in an unexpected cryptic social media drip feed<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tFor BoC\u2019s long-suffering fans, Inferno<\/em> is a bolt from the blue. The duo\u2019s last album, 2013\u2019s Tomorrow\u2019s Harvest,<\/em> proved to be their biggest commercial success, based on international chart placings. <\/p>\n

\n\tThen, deafening quiet. Thirteen years of it. <\/p>\n

\n\tOnly the most hopelessly optimistic BoC fans would\u2019ve anticipated a new era. And yet here we are, with confirmation coming by way of separate social posts, one combining dramatic, but minimal, BoC music, with hexagonal imagery and video cut from a simpler time. It\u2019s sunburnt nostalgia, bottled.<\/p>\n

\n\tBoards of Canada is comprised of Scottish brothers Mike Sandison and Marcus Eoin, a universe-building pair that is both enigmatic, secretive and adored by connoisseurs of minimal electronic music.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe siblings rarely give interviews, they\u2019ve performed only\u00a0a small handful\u00a0of live shows, mostly in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and their official music videos can be counted on one hand.<\/p>\n

\n\tBoC\u2019s impact shouldn\u2019t be measured in hits, or streams. Though their fourth and most recent album release, Tomorrow\u2019s Harvest, <\/em>did set career chart highs for the act. That collection peaked at No. 7 in the United Kingdom, for their first top 10 entry, and at No. 13 on the Billboard 200, their first appearance on the all-genres U.S. albums chart. <\/p>\n

\n\tA comeback of sorts emerged in 2019 with \u201cXYZ,\u201d a previously-unreleased tune<\/a> from their Peel Session of July 1998, which appeared on a new Warp Records 30th anniversary package,\u00a0WXAXRXP Sessions<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tInferno<\/em> is due out May 29 on special-edition limited red translucent 2LP vinyl in triple gatefold sleeve with 16-page booklet, standard black 2xLP vinyl, as well as CD and digital formats. Check out the Inferno<\/em> tracklist, and latest BoC social posts below. Pre-order and pre-save at boardsofcanada.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
