With that in mind-and it's a thought that'll inform another pick, later-I looked to what was more contemporary, still within the indie sphere, at the time of the game's events. But would a teenager in 2013's Oregon really be listening to a relatively obscure French band, and a record that came out eight years before the game's setting? In the game's opening episode, protagonist Max pops her earbuds in and we all get to hear Syd Matters' "To All of You", a pleasantly melancholic indie-folk offering from the album Someday We Will Foresee Obstacles (I reviewed the band's album before it, A Whisper and a Sigh). It's got a real gentle lilt to it, and works as an introduction to her equally gentle demeanor. Okay, so let's start with the most, I suppose, controversial choice in terms of a stylistic shift. But I do know that this was a lot of fun, and a challenge, too-because Life Is Strange is a game that is so carried by its music at some points, that to even think about changing the record will be sacrilegious for some fans. You could even suggest future games to feature. It could be, if you like it, and you can tweet us your own blends of game scenes with all-new accompaniments, as we'll enjoy checking them out. I don't know if this will be a recurring feature. That background means I'm fairly well positioned to dive into what I have to hand, still bowing the shelves, and line it up beside video game scenes, seeing what fits and what doesn't, and ultimately arriving somewhere that works, just differently to what you already know. You can play this game, too, and could easily come up with your own awesome new combinations.īut with well over a decade of music journalism behind me, I've heard a lot of great records, and have the physical collection to show for it. Now, I'm not saying I have the most amazing taste in music in the world, or that the selections I've made here are solid-gold substitutions.
(If this is as bad as the BBC thing to you, though, sorry.) Viewers called it a "car crash," and labeled the results "redundant."Ī few days ago, my own itch returned-and this time, finally, I've scratched, hopefully respectfully. "A valiant idea that ultimately falls flat," wrote the NME. You can see that playlist here, but the reaction to it wasn't exactly amazing.

It's hardly an original idea-British readers may recall the BBC rescoring the movie Drive, featuring material from the likes of CHVRCHES, Jon Hopkins and Bring Me the Horizon.
