Summary
Boards of Canada drop their first music in 13 years — “The World Becomes Flesh” — for the eerie A24 horror film Backrooms, a project deeply influenced by their haunting, nostalgic sound. Director Kane Parsons, a longtime fan who cites them alongside Aphex Twin and Burial as key inspirations, co-wrote the score and even released his own ambient track “Wondrous Obsolescence” shortly after the film’s premiere. This collaboration bridges the gap between internet-born horror and cinematic art, showcasing how viral online phenomena are reshaping modern filmmaking.
