A review that tests whether Mr. Beast marks a real musical shift for Mogwai or whether its reputation rests more on how clearly and widely the band’s long established strengths were delivered.

A review that starts from the received idea of Boards of Canada as masters of analogue dread and half-remembered nostalgia, then asks whether Inferno deepens that language, merely repeats it, or reveals why its grip still holds.
