Summary
- Boards of Canada released their first album in 13 years, titled Inferno.

- Backrooms, directed by Kane Parsons, became A24's highest-grossing film on its opening weekend.
After a 13-year hiatus, the influential Scottish electronic duo Boards of Canada has released their highly anticipated new album, "Inferno." This marks their first studio LP since their previous release. A notable track from "Inferno," titled "The World Becomes Flesh," made an early debut. It was featured during the end credits of "Backrooms," the new horror film from A24 directed by Kane Parsons. This film, adapted from a popular YouTube series and meme, achieved remarkable success over its opening weekend. It grossed $118 million globally, establishing new box office records for the studio and for director Parsons, who is notably the youngest filmmaker to reach the number one spot at the domestic box office.
The aesthetic and unnerving atmosphere of "Backrooms," which depicts endless yellow-walled spaces, draws parallels with Boards of Canada's signature downtempo and ambient electronic sound. Parsons himself cited the duo's music as a direct inspiration for the film. The surreal experience of hearing new music from the band soundtracking a film as disorienting and atmospheric as "Backrooms" has been highlighted as a unique artistic convergence.
