Various artists, All These Things I Thought I Knew: A Compilation Tribute to the Late LD Beghtol

This tribute to the late songwriter and Magnetic Fields collaborator is something of a family affair, with close friends and clever familiars gathering to celebrate the artist’s dearly dour discography.

Portrayal of Guilt, …Beginning of the End

The Austin trio pushes into new territories within the frameworks of hardcore and metal, inserting flourishes of trip-hop, nu metal, and even Memphis rap into their aggressive package.

VINSON, Raw Honey

The debut album from the Detroit-reared artist jumps from jazz to electronica to R&B while always maintaining a cohesive structure of easy Sunday-morning vibes.

With Boards of Canada set to release their first LP since 2013 on May 29, the group has confirmed global listening parties for Inferno the week prior. Listening events will occur in Tokyo, Berlin, Barcelona, London, Glasgow, New York, and Los Angeles on May 22. Tickets go on sale this Friday, May 1, and fans can register for access ahead of the seven listening events.

Inferno will be available in various formats, including limited special-edition red translucent two-LP vinyl in a triple gatefold sleeve with a 16-page booklet, standard black two-LP vinyl, and CD, as well as digitally. Pre-order the album here, and register for access for the listening events here.
