"World 1-2: Encore" Teaser

Get the album now: http://koopasw.bandcamp.com/album/world-1-2-encore

Monomirror remixes the Title Theme of Metroid in a very moody and atmospheric way, and although the song uses very little of what we know as Metroid music, it fits the universe enough to make it feel like a trip through familiar lanes. It starts mellow and mysterious but grows punchy and forceful.

New track from Brave Wave's upcoming solo album, Heart Beat Circuit. The track "Doll House" finds Smoke Thief showing his melancholic side with emotionally charged melodies, and slowly builds up to a triumphant and exhilarating end.

Preorder: store.bravewave.net/album/heart-beat-circuit

Heart Beat Circuit is an album five years in the making. After completing his Master's degree in music performance in 2010, George "Smoke Thief" Baker began to conceptualize what would take shape into his first album. An image came to him of a futuristic female android who achieves sentience, which opens up a world of new experiences to her and the opportunity to forge a new life.

With contributions from renowned video game composers Manami Matsumae (Mega Man), Saori Kobayashi (Panzer Dragoon Saga), and Takahiro Izutani (Bayonetta), Heart Beat Circuit takes the listener on a futuristic journey through the mind of this groundbreaking composer and that of Krystal, his muse.

ABSRDST's debut album with Brave Wave, titled IMAGINARY FRIEND, is his most personal one, with lyrics explored and written by himself. The lush and warm production begs you to pay attention to its many layers. "I really do consider this my debut album," Jack tells us. "Everything before, I was just trying to figure out who I am. What started as a meditation on grief grew into a voice that makes me feel strong. I hope it makes you feel that way too."
