This is the official soundtrack for SkateBIRD, developed and published by Glass Bottom Games. When Megan Fox, the lead designer and studio owner, approached me about a new prototype idea she had of a skateboarding bird I was MORE than intrigued.

Like many, I played plenty of skateboarding themed video games in the 2000's and enjoyed them a ton. Skateboarding games are often edgy, with hard hitting or aggressive soundtracks to boot. SkateBIRD is just the opposite of this. We wanted a game that focused on creating a chill, fun vibe that allowed the players to experiment, try over and over and explore.

The game is full of hilarious, quirky moments and the first time I saw the bird flap its wings while soaring on a skateboard... I was hooked. Combine this with the fact that you can customize your birb's appearance - well - this game was turning into something special. On top of all of this, the settings of a bedroom, kitchen (complete with greasy, left over pizza box) and other locales were interesting, unique and added a whole new level of immersion. This game was gonna be special. 

I hope you enjoy the soundtrack and look for the game coming out on August 12th!

This might be my favorite song on the album.

Wrote this one in a day.  A pretty full day mind you, but a day nonetheless.  I had written a swing-style part for our Sonic Boom relay ( https://soundcloud.com/relaybros/sonic-boom ) and I figured I'd attempt something stylistically similar as one of my last album tracks.

It came out goodlywell. :)

It's hip, it's chill... it's like a dash of opium in your shaken (not stirred) Martini.  Smooth, sexy, and oh so warm, Sarah brings the love on this track.  Get lost in Gregory's lush Rhodes licks while swaying to the fat bump of his bass, let the dreamy harmonies wash over you and melt your cares away.  

This one is extra addictive, you've been warned!
