Two days ago, Boards of Canada released Inferno, their long-anticipated LP and first album in 13 years. While almost everybody had to wait until Friday to listen, horror movie fans got to hear one of the project’s unreleased songs a little early: “The World Becomes Flesh” plays in Backrooms, the new A24 film directed by Kane Parsons, during its end credits. You can listen to the song and watch the movie trailer below.
Backrooms is about an eerie liminal space full of yellow-walled rooms that never seem to end, adapted from the YouTube series that was inspired by an old meme taken from a photograph of a real building in Wisconsin. Boards of Canada’s music is not only spiritually in line with the movie’s tone, but it also directly inspired Parsons, too.
