    A brilliant album that doubles down on Boards of Canada's core strengths and finds room to move their music forward. [Jun 2026, p.20]

    It’s an incredible journey – one of their most evocative, ambitious and rewarding yet.

    It's the darkest and most direct music ever issued under the Boards of Canada seal, a bold swing for an artist whose prettier early formula still inspires wan imitation to this day.

    Inferno may the wonkiest and most unnerving album from the duo, not uniformly menacing, but one undoubtedly apt for the current climate in its restless energy. Hope may be in short supply, but at least we've got a brilliant soundtrack for the apocalypse.

    Thirteen years was a long time to wait. ‘Inferno’ makes every one of them feel worthwhile.

    "Does Inferno live up to the hype?" Thankfully, it unequivocally does.
