Boards of Canada<\/a> have revealed two new songs, \u201cIntroit\u201d and \u201cProphecy at 1420 MHz,\u201d serving as the first official offering from their upcoming album Inferno<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Serving as the opening two songs of the new album, \u201cIntroit\u201d and \u201cProphecy at 1420 MHz\u201d introduce the groovy, off-kilter world of Inferno<\/em>. \u201cIntroit\u201d begins with a nostalgic synth arpeggio and is akin to a machine powering up, blooming into focus and appropriately teeing up the next song as it dissolves into an ambient crawl. Then \u201cProphecy\u201d flies in with a mid-tempo drum beat, roomy synths, and an ominous, ghosted vocal. Though Boards of Canada\u2019s sound has thoroughly transformed over the last 25 years, the new music almost picks up where their last album, 2013\u2019s Tomorrow\u2019s Harvest<\/em>, left off, with soundscapes and electronic rhythms meeting in strange harmony. Stream \u201cIntroit\u201d and \u201cProphecy at 1420 MHz\u201d below.<\/p>\n Inferno<\/em> will arrive everywhere on May 29th via Warp Records. The Scottish duo have announced that they\u2019ll be hosting seven special album premiere events, dubbed \u201cThe Inferno Sessions,\u201d in Tokyo, Berlin, Barcelona, London, Glasgow, New York, and Los Angeles on May 22nd. Local record stores will also be hosting listening parties for the new album on May 28th.
