this year is really something else for audio teams commissioning original songs for their games. i'll have a lot more to say about alan wake 2's incredible songs once we're done with the game, but:
for now i wanted to point out this gorgeous 'launch commemoration' song from reverse 1999. it was written by taro umebayashi, better known as the composer for the incredible Yuri on Ice anime. i'm in love with how freely it transports around keys and moods across its lyrics. since i don't think it's actually in the game, it seems mostly like a huge marketing flex, but hey it's workin. i really like it a lot.
