Disco Elysium

Description

Disco Elysium is a game that creates an incredibly evocative atmosphere, your mind transcending your familiar surroundings (living room, basement, den), replacing them with a pictorial and pulp intrigue that amounts to entering a parallel universe. Yet, as obvious as it is to apply the adjectives "pictorial" to the images and "pulp" to the words, the soundtrack harmonizes so beautifully with the absinthe cocktail of Disco's narrative that these adjectives become interchangeable with its soundscape. That is the genius of British Sea Power, composers of this soundtrack, yes, but also a legendary indie rock band. Just like the Pixies and The Cure before them, they blend genres and magic to create music that transports you so effectively that each track is like a mini-film, brimming with character and epic soul... while remaining intimate and moving. Treat yourself and close your eyes while you listen, it is a feast for the mind.
