There’s lots to like about Disco Elysium: the writing, the artwork model, the philosophy, the branching narrative, the little gap in the midst of area and time, lieutenant Kim Kitsuragi… the checklist goes on.
However anybody that is spent a lot as just a few hours within the depressing, great world of Disco Elysium will know that the OST is actually one thing particular. Conceived of, carried out, and orchestrated by Brighton-based British sextet, Sea Energy (who it’s possible you’ll know by their former moniker, British Sea Energy), the OST is an ideal lesson in distress, self-reflection, sonic swaddling.
If, like me, you’ve got all the time needed to listen to a few of this music reside – faraway from the depressing throes of Revachol and its failed revolution – then I’ve received some excellent news. Sea Energy have introduced a 2025 UK soundtracks tour, and it’ll give attention to the bands movie and online game rating work. It is going down in April subsequent yr.
I’ve written concerning the OST at size for different publications. It does a beautiful job as online game music, each bettering the affect of all the things else within the mission, while standing by itself and being a exceptional piece of musical expertise in its personal proper. On condition that Sea Energy eliminated themselves from their normal song-writing course of to ‘reside in another person’s head’ to make the music, you may see why it was so profitable. Going methodology in music writing helps, it could appear.
“We’re delighted to announce a Soundtracks Tour for April 2025,” says the band in a press release. “These UK dates will characteristic an atmospheric, emotive choice of beloved Sea Energy music – tracks that had been tailored for the BAFTA-winning soundtrack for the pc recreation Disco Elysium, plus tracks reimagined for the acclaimed movie soundtracks for Man Of Aran and From The Sea To The Land Past.”
