A musical appreciation post

Every year, there are a couple of game soundtracks I become properly obsessed with.

In 2021, it was Chicory.

Composed byAaron Cherof, Cobalt Core’s music alternates between high-energy battle tracks and calmer, more relaxed ambience.

That’s not to say Cobalt Core’s slower tracks are any less excellent, of course.

Your daft old possum, you.

So cool, so jazzy, so playful.

The bass is infectious, and the prominent percussion can’t help but get you moving to the beat.

Personally, whatever ‘weird foe’ this is, they sound heckin’great.

The achingly hip foe.

The foe I secretly want to be friends with but never will.

I almost feel bad about blowing them up already.

Finally, I also just wanted to say how gorgeous “Beneath A Birchen Moon"is.

Looking forward to it.
