Lightly browned and well buttered. A solid pick from the rack.
Summary
Boards Of Canada, the Scottish electronic duo, have released their first proper single from the upcoming album "Inferno" — their first new album since 2013's "Tomorrow's Harvest." The release features two tracks: "Introit" (a 36-second intro) and "Prophecy At 1420 MHz," which has an ominous midtempo groove reminiscent of late '90s spy movie soundtracks. The rollout included mailing mysterious VHS tapes to fans and sharing music excerpts.
