Night Clerk Radio: Haunted Music Reviews

The Inferno Discussion

Episode Summary

It’s time to close out Boards of Canada month. Wow! Two whole episodes! In this episode, we’re digging into Inferno, the duo's first release in thirteen years. It’s an album that brings the cult and numerology mystique of Geogaddi into the clean, soundtrack-inspired aesthetic of Tomorrow’s Harvest. We get into how plunderphonics, nostalgia, and hauntology have shifted over the evolution of the band’s discography and how that impacts the album. Grab a copy, fire up your favorite numbers station, and join us!
