Acid HorizonAuthor: Acid Horizon
Emerging from affinities with post-structuralism, abolitionism, biopolitics, communism, critical metaphysics, critical mysticism, and ontological anarchy, Acid Horizon is a philosophy and theory podcast committed to thought in motion and political struggle. While these are our grounding currents, each episode opens out onto a wider constellation: ethics, politics, phenomenology, decolonial thought, queer theory, post-psychoanalysis, disability/crip theory, anarchism, Marxism, feminism, and analyses of the emergence of the new right.Comprised of a decentralized collective of friends and comrades, Acid Horizon cultivates a terrain of militant inquiry. From readings that span 20th-century French communism to new perspectives on German idealism, the collective has also undertaken forays into aesthetic experimentation, philosophical heresy, and the history of revolt. We seek the concepts and intensities that gesture toward new forms of life.Acid Horizon pushes theory beyond the academy through live engagements, collaborative reading groups, and collective interventions.

Communion of Atmospheres: Prophecy, Nostalgia & the Return of Boards of Canada
Thursday, 16 April, 2026
What does it mean to inhabit a communion of atmospheres? And what happens when that communion, after thirteen years of silence, suddenly has something new to say? Craig is joined by musician, mastering engineer, writer, and label head Jack Chuter for an episode that traces the mythology, philosophy, and sensory world of Boards of Canada, from the bleached Kodachrome of Music Has the Right to Children through the apocalyptic fog of Tomorrow's Harvest and into the just-dropped "Tape 05". Drawing on Craig's recent essay "Corduroy Psychedelia: On Boards of Canada, Hauntology, and the PBS Unconscious", the conversation moves through hauntology, cultic community, the politics of nostalgia, and the strange synchronicities that surrounded the band's long-awaited return. Along the way they discuss BoC's cryptic posters, mysterious VHS tapes, and the extraordinary outpouring of collective feeling that greeted "Tape 05" on the day of its release. What is the music and art we reach for when the timeline feels like it's running out?Links:"Tape 05": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bghDcbzfEUJack Chuter on Instagram: https://instagram.com/jack.chuterNothing Is Real (BoC Covers): https://chuter.bandcamp.com/album/nothing-is-realCrucial Listening Podcast: https://pod.link/1247282591ATTN Magazine: https://www.attnmagazine.co.ukHard Return Label: https://hardreturn.bandcamp.comCorduroy Psychedelia: On Boards of Canada, Hauntology, and the PBS Unconscious: https://splitinfinities.substack.com/p/corduroy-psychedelia-on-boards-ofVintaga: I Ching Oracle for Psychogeography and Creative Discovery: https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/vintagia-basecampSupport the showSupport the podcast:AHRCCurrent classes at Acid Horizon Research Commons (AHRC): acidhorizonresearchcommons.comAHRC Course Archive: https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/ahrc-course-archivesSubmit your course proposal: acidhorizonresearchcommons@gmail.comMore LinksWebsite: https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/Linktree: https://linktr.ee/acidhorizonAcid Horizon on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcastBoycott Watkins Media: https://xenogothic.com/2025/03/17/boycott-watkins-statement/Subscribe to us on your favorite podcast: https://pod.link/1512615438Merch: http://www.crit-drip.comSubscribe to us on your favorite podcast platform: https://pod.link/1512615438LEPHT HAND: https://www.patreon.com/LEPHTHANDHappy Hour at Hippel's (Adam’s blog): https://happyhourathippels.wordpress.comSplit Infinities (Craig’s Substack): https://splitinfinities.substack.com/Music: https://sereptie.bandcamp.com/ and https://thecominginsurrection.bandcamp.com/
