Released to arcades in 2008, Illmatic Envelope, better known as Illvelo, returns with the original soundtrack to the latest entry in the series, Illvelo Swamp.
Spanning 58 tracks, it pulls you along before you even realize you’ve reached the end. In contrast to the game’s bizarre and chaotic visuals, the album flows with a strange smoothness, slipping naturally into the listener’s ears.
Heavily distorted kicks, synths tinged with nostalgia, cursed voice samples, and basslines writhing deep beneath the surface. With these tightly controlled loops, Daisuke Nagata and Ko Hayashi of k.h.d.n. create a hypnotic soundscape that carries you through the entire experience.
In Illvelo Swamp, players are consumed by a world of irrational, absurd mysteries. This album may serve as a small golden key, a faint source of light in the middle of that madness.
Music composed and produced by k.h.d.n.
