Boards of Canada<\/a> and the new A24 hit film Backrooms shared more than a release date this past Friday. The long-awaited return of the influential electronic duo also came with an unexpected big-screen appearance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe World Becomes Flesh,\u201d a track from Boards of Canada\u2019s latest album Inferno<\/a>, plays during the end credits of Backrooms, A24\u2019s adaptation of Kane Parsons\u2019 viral internet horror phenomenon. The placement arrives as the Scottish duo return with their first new album in more than 13 years.<\/p>\n

Backrooms expands on Parsons\u2019 YouTube series, which transformed a simple image of an empty, yellow-walled office space into one of the internet\u2019s most enduring horror myths. Since its debut in 2022, the filmmaker\u2019s found-footage take has amassed millions of views and helped bring the creepypasta into the mainstream.<\/p>\n

The connection between Boards of Canada and Backrooms runs deeper than a shared release date. In a recent GQ<\/a> interview, Parsons discussed several of the influences behind the film, citing ambient music and artists including Boards of Canada,\u00a0Aphex Twin, and Burial as touchstones for the movie\u2019s sound design and atmosphere. The film\u2019s score was composed by Parsons alongside Edo Van Breemen.<\/p>\n

In addition to directing Backrooms and co-composing its score, Parsons has quietly built a substantial body of music under the name Not Kane Pixels, releasing ambient and experimental recordings that often mirror the atmosphere of his films. Just days after Backrooms hit theaters, Parsons shared a new track online titled \u201cWondrous Obsolescence.\u201d<\/p>\n

For decades, Boards of Canada have built a devoted following around music that evokes faded memories, analog decay, and an unsettling sense of familiarity. While the duo didn\u2019t invent the liminal-space aesthetic that would eventually fuel the Backrooms phenomenon, their work has long occupied a similar emotional territory, making the appearance of \u201cThe World Becomes Flesh\u201d feel like a meeting point between creators exploring the same strange corners of nostalgia and unease.<\/p>\n

After grossing more than $118 million worldwide and shattering multiple box office records for A24, Backrooms has cemented Kane Parsons as the latest YouTube creator to successfully make the jump to feature filmmaking.\u00a0For another example of the platform\u2019s growing influence on modern horror, check out our recent feature by Liz Shannon Miller on Obsession<\/a> director Curry Barker.<\/p>\n
