29 Sep
Summary
- Soundtrack features new songs from notable indie bands.
- Many tracks are modern takes on 1950s and 1960s classics.
- The game is a third-person title focused on a zombie's revenge.
The soundtrack for the video game Stubbs the Zombie is a notable release, featuring new music from prominent indie artists. These include contributions from The Flaming Lips, Death Cab for Cutie, and The Walkmen, among others.
The album offers a unique concept by reinterpreting classic pop songs from the late 1950s and early 1960s with modern musical arrangements. Bands like The Walkmen lend their signature chill to The Drifters' "There Goes My Baby," while Death Cab for Cutie delivers a slow-dance rendition of "Earth Angel."
Other artists contributing to the retro-futuristic vibe include Cake with "Strangers in the Night" and Oranger with a crunchier "Mr. Sandman." While most of the soundtrack consists of these reimagined classics, Phantom Planet offers the album's only entirely new composition, "The Living Dead."
