Michiru Yamane Returns, Skullgirls Soundtrack Now on Amazon and iTunes
Skullgirls, the beautifully animated 2D fighter, has been out for a little while and now so is its soundtrack. Why should you care? Two words: Michiru Yamane. The woman behind many of the most beloved Castlevania soundtracks (including Symphony of the Night) lent her talent to this little fighting game that could.
While the overall focus leans more toward jazz, Yamane’s contributions are distinctly reminiscent of her previous works. “The Fish Man’s Dance” sounds like it could have been pulled straight from Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin while tracks like “The Lives We Left Behind” and “Skull Heart Arrhythmia” trigger other memories of her work on the series (in the best possible way).
But it wouldn’t be fair to talk about the Skullgirls soundtrack without mentioning the score’s other contributors. You’ll also hear music from Vincent Diamante (Flower), Blaine McGurty, and Brenton Kossak. Diamante’s “Shenanigans and Goings-Ons” in particular is a short, but sweet track that has an upbeat, swing feel to it.
You can find the Skullgirls soundtrack on both Amazon ($8.99) and iTunes ($9.99).
