Tracking new VGM releases since 2022

The soundtrack to friendslop hit How to Fish lands on streaming platforms

Riding high on Steam acclaim, physics-based indie How to Fish releases its catchy original score.


I find myself oddly drawn to fishing these days, even though I was just a boy the last time I held a rod. My line immediately snagged on the bushes behind me the second I wound up for a cast. Good times. Friendslop hit How to Fish somehow manages to capture that exact clumsy energy. In this physics-based "fishing simulator", the ends always justify the means. True to its title, you actually have to figure out how to reel in a fish using whatever scraps are lying around the strange island you're stranded on.

Having already racked up more than 21,000 positive reviews on Steam in mere weeks, How to Fish is now rolling out its soundtrack across all major streaming services. Composed by Swedish musician Martin Weidenborn, the album spans just 10 tracks, with the in-game "Radio" tunes standing out as personal highlights. Those are the tracks players can listen to if they choose to drop their hard-earned cash on the in-game radio. Catchy, eclectic, and very well produced for what appears to be Weidenborn's debut video game score, it only makes me crave a proper fishing trip even more.

It's not just me, though. Fishing games are genuinely everywhere this year! Just last week, I covered the fantastic soundtrack to Moorage, and spotlighted The One Fish the week before that. Be sure to give those a spin, too!
