Boards of Canada soundtrack the end credits of A24 horror film with new album track

Boards of Canada return through a horror film's closing credits

Boards of Canada have surfaced in an unexpected place. According to Pitchfork, a song from the duo's new album, Inferno, plays over the end credits of Backrooms, the A24 horror film. It is a quietly significant moment for a group that has kept a low profile for years and rarely announces anything in conventional ways.

What this tells us about Inferno

The placement confirms that Inferno is a real, finished project, not a rumor or a leak. Beyond the album title and this single credit, details about Boards of Canada remain scarce. No tracklist, no release date, and no label announcement have been made public based on available reporting.

A24 has built a reputation for pairing its films with carefully chosen music, so the selection of Boards of Canada for Backrooms feels deliberate rather than incidental. The Scottish electronic duo's textured, unsettling sound is a natural fit for the horror genre, and the exposure inside a wide theatrical release is a rare mainstream moment for a group that has historically avoided them.

Whether Inferno arrives soon or the end credit is simply the first breadcrumb in a longer rollout is not yet clear. For now, the Backrooms soundtrack placement is the only confirmed detail on the table.
