Released this Monday, this shmup—with its high-contrast art style—looks like it plays incredibly well, and the same goes for its soundtrack, composed by someone whose work I’m just discovering, Gareth Wiecko. A Welsh expat living in Melbourne, he has delivered a rich electronic album infused with a neo-retro energy that—as you know—immediately hits home for me. I can hear some inspiration from Disasterpeace (*Hyper Light Drifter*), but also Lifeformed (*Tunic*)—especially in the opening tracks. However, those influences don't fully define Wiecko’s musical direction; he develops his own signature sound as the album progresses, which managed to keep me hooked from start to finish. Definitely a new name to watch in the world of VGM!
