The release of the new UnofficialMSPA album Xenoplanetarium happened a few days ago to a minimal fanfare. Do listen to the full thing, because it’s pretty great (and also I have a song on it, which I’m fairly proud of).

However, I want to bring your attention to a specific track. Please listen to Acquiesce by psithurist, the album’s theme for the Land of Maps and Treasure. Homestuck music is something of a passion of mine, and I’ve heard pretty much everything that the community has put out, including quiet a few projects that I managed myself. Keeping this in mind, I think I can safely say that Acquiesce is certainly one of the best Homestuck tracks released in the past couple of years, and possibly one of the best ever for its style, to my ear. Psithurist is an incredibly talented musician, and one of the best producers in the Homestuck fanmusic community at the moment, in my opinion.

Acquiesce has a unique quality that’s unlike pretty much everything else in the canon. It has a sort of understated majesty, and the lyrical sections give me shivers every time I listen to them. Do yourself a favour and give it a listen (and the rest of the album while you’re at it, all the tracks are great)!

I just finished up this video for my and @espeonn‘s We Know the Devil fansong,  “The Dawn that Gxd Misplaced!” Many thanks to all the artists who contributed their work to this project, and to the WKTD team for their fabulous game and allowing us to release this song. 

You can download the song (with a bonus karaoke version, WIP files, and digital lyric+info booklet) here! If you’re not familiar with the game, totally check it out--you can pick it up on Steam or DateNighto.

Here's a preview of the music video I've been working on for "The Dawn That Gxd Misplaced," a We Know The Devil fansong created by @espeonn​ and I! I'm hoping to get the full video out in a couple weeks if all goes according to schedule. You can download the song (and a karaoke version!) here. 

It’s finally done! @oscillatrix​ and I just released our We Know the Devil fansong. I'm really glad I got the chance to collaborate with Jo on this, it’s been so fun c:

If you liked the game’s soundtrack or you're into alternative rock and indie music, you might like this song! We’ve got crickets, radio-ified vocals, and duets with sirens. Please consider downloading our song for all sorts of bonus content, like WIP files and an album booklet!

Thanks to Aevee Bee, Mia Schwartz​, and Alec Lambert​ for creating the awesome game that inspired this and giving us permission to release this song.

I can't believe I have missed out on post-homestuck homestuck music all this time. It's so good.
