New Music: May 29, 2026

You may or may not have heard that Boards of Canada released their new album, Inferno, this week. Good to see them pushing their sonic boundaries further while maintaining their signature sound. Pianeti Sintetici provides a slice of dark matter on their new release for Samurai Music, while B0t23 & Inoperative System navigate a nearby solar system for Science Cult—both somehow sprawling EPs that prove the furthest reaches of space have yet to be explored.

We also get an as-expected masterclass from Shed on their release for Dekmantel, effortlessly fusing down-to-earth techno with a heartfelt sentimentality. There’s plenty for those looking to get on the dancefloor as well, with Kaval and Jensen Interceptor delivering the Lunatic’s picks to bring the heat.

Final mention goes to ear for their immaculate mess of an album, one that hits the sickly sweet spots in all the right places.
