Craig is joined by author and music writer Jack Chuter and Boards of Canada archivist Tonx (Tony Konecny) to review Inferno, the long-awaited new record from Scottish electronic legends Boards of Canada. Together we unpack the album's dense thematic terrain: the figure of the child, religious hierarchy, memory, trauma, and the dissolution of linear time, while sharing their firsthand experiences of the Inferno Sessions listening events held in London, Los Angeles, and New York. Whether you're a longtime devotee of the Hexagon Sun or a newcomer algorithmically deposited into our space, this conversation is an invitation to sit with one of the most ambitious and rewarding records of the past decade.Support the showSupport the podcast:AHRCCurrent classes at Acid Horizon Research Commons (AHRC): acidhorizonresearchcommons.comAHRC Course Archive: https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/ahrc-course-archivesSubmit your course proposal: acidhorizonresearchcommons@gmail.comMore LinksWebsite: https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/Linktree: https://linktr.ee/acidhorizonAcid Horizon on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcastBoycott Watkins Media: https://xenogothic.com/2025/03/17/boycott-watkins-statement/Subscribe to us on your favorite podcast: https://pod.link/1512615438Merch: http://www.crit-drip.comSubscribe to us on your favorite podcast platform: https://pod.link/1512615438LEPHT HAND: https://www.patreon.com/LEPHTHANDHappy Hour at Hippel's (Adam's blog): https://happyhourathippels.wordpress.comSplit Infinities (Craig's Substack): https://splitinfinities.substack.com/Music: https://sereptie.bandcamp.com/ and https://thecominginsurrection.bandcamp.com/
What does it mean to inhabit a communion of atmospheres? And what happens when that communion, after thirteen years of silence, suddenly has something new to say? Craig is joined by musician, mastering engineer, writer, and label head Jack Chuter for an episode that traces the mythology, philosophy, and sensory world of Boards of Canada, from the bleached Kodachrome of Music Has the Right to Children through the apocalyptic fog of Tomorrow's Harvest and into the just-dropped "Tape 05". Drawing on Craig's recent essay "Corduroy Psychedelia: On Boards of Canada, Hauntology, and the PBS Unconscious", the conversation moves through hauntology, cultic community, the politics of nostalgia, and the strange synchronicities that surrounded the band's long-awaited return. Along the way they discuss BoC's cryptic posters, mysterious VHS tapes, and the extraordinary outpouring of collective feeling that greeted "Tape 05" on the day of its release. What is the music and art we reach for when the timeline feels like it's running out?Links:"Tape 05": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bghDcbzfEUJack Chuter on Instagram: https://instagram.com/jack.chuterNothing Is Real (BoC Covers): https://chuter.bandcamp.com/album/nothing-is-realCrucial Listening Podcast: https://pod.link/1247282591ATTN Magazine: https://www.attnmagazine.co.ukHard Return Label: https://hardreturn.bandcamp.comCorduroy Psychedelia: On Boards of Canada, Hauntology, and the PBS Unconscious: https://splitinfinities.substack.com/p/corduroy-psychedelia-on-boards-ofVintaga: I Ching Oracle for Psychogeography and Creative Discovery: https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/vintagia-basecampSupport the showSupport the podcast:AHRCCurrent classes at Acid Horizon Research Commons (AHRC): acidhorizonresearchcommons.comAHRC Course Archive: https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/ahrc-course-archivesSubmit your course proposal: acidhorizonresearchcommons@gmail.comMore LinksWebsite: https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/Linktree: https://linktr.ee/acidhorizonAcid Horizon on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcastBoycott Watkins Media: https://xenogothic.com/2025/03/17/boycott-watkins-statement/Subscribe to us on your favorite podcast: https://pod.link/1512615438Merch: http://www.crit-drip.comSubscribe to us on your favorite podcast platform: https://pod.link/1512615438LEPHT HAND: https://www.patreon.com/LEPHTHANDHappy Hour at Hippel's (Adam's blog): https://happyhourathippels.wordpress.comSplit Infinities (Craig's Substack): https://splitinfinities.substack.com/Music: https://sereptie.bandcamp.com/ and https://thecominginsurrection.bandcamp.com/

In our first podcast, author Jack Chuter talks to David Grubbs (Gastr Del Sol, Bastro) about the term "post-rock" and the process of unilateral disarmament.

Jack Chuter's interest in experimental sounds began with a trip to his local record store. He listened to a Sunn O))) record at a listening station and went away completely bewildered by the experience. The music stuck with him and over time helped change his approach to listening and music criticism. Jack founded ATTN:Magazine to explore music from a standpoint of curiosity and discovery.
