What happened to Backrooms end credits song?
Backrooms end-credits song traced to Boards of Canada
The end-credits music for A24’s Backrooms has been linked to Scottish electronic duo Boards of Canada, using the group’s newly released material as the source.
The coverage explains that the track playing during the film’s closing credits is from Boards of Canada’s new album Inferno. That connection matters because it turns a viral, internet-born horror concept into a fully realized cinematic product with recognizable, award-level electronic authorship behind one of its most memorable sonic touchpoints.
The reporting also situates the reveal within the duo’s comeback rollout. Boards of Canada released Inferno after a long gap since their prior album era, and the timing lines up with Backrooms’ theatrical push—making the soundtrack association both a marketing detail and a cultural breadcrumb for fans.
Why the detail is significant
- It confirms the song’s origin rather than leaving it as a purely impressionistic “mystery track.”
- It highlights how Backrooms is continuing to move from meme/creepypasta into mainstream film infrastructure.
- It creates a concrete cross-over moment between contemporary horror audiences and electronic music collectors who track Boards of Canada’s catalog.
With the end-credits cue now attributed to Inferno, viewers have a clearer path to re-experience the film’s mood outside the theater—through a specific album track rather than speculation.
