Fat Bard is giving Van Halen on the Simple Planes 2 soundtrack, out now


I can't overstate how much I love these guys. I discovered Fat Bard through the absolutely stellar Jet Lancer OST, and we got to hear their immense talent again on Demon Tides just a few weeks ago. The tireless duo from Missouri is back with the soundtrack for Simple Planes 2—a sort of Besiege for aviation games—and let’s just say that if you live for 80s FM rock, you’re going to be doing backflips.

The acclaimed musical duo, Fat Bard, takes to the skies with the official soundtrack for SimplePlanes 2! Inspired by the driving energy of 80s rock and the nostalgic warmth of retro electronic music, this brand-new album is the perfect co-pilot for your aerospace adventures.

Whether you are meticulously building your masterpiece in the designer or pushing your experimental jet to Mach 3 over the SimplePlanes Archipelago, this soundtrack delivers. Expect a dynamic mix ranging from chill ambient atmospheres to high-octane, guitar-heavy rockers.

Fat Bard knows their stuff inside out, and you can really hear the fun they had recording these 16 high-energy tracks. From the very first notes, you can feel the Van Halen influence on the compositions—to the point where the legendary "Jump" is straight-up quoted in the opening of "Glide Away."
