  One of the most popular posts on OSV over the past several weeks has been the article detailing the Swedish inspirations within the soundtrack to the critically acclaimed game Unravel. I have been following chatter about the soundtrack on twitter and several users have tweeted to the game maker to ask if they can buy the soundtrack, or if it is going to be coming out soon.

  Twitter user iNanas asked and got a response which I’ve embedded below.

  @AnanasUA We currently don’t have any plans, but we definitely hear you.

  The music was composed by Henrik Oja and Frida Johansson, and is so far one of my favorite video game soundtracks that have been released this year. If you think that the soundtrack should get an official release I would take after iNanas and tweet to Unravel‘s official twitter account to let them know!

  Do you think the soundtrack to Unravel should get an official release?

  Unravel Soundtrack Reveals Swedish Inspirations

  February 3, 2016 | Shawn Sackenheim | 3 Comments Share this Unravel Soundtrack Reveals Swedish Inspirations

  

  Leading up to its release on February 9th, the team at Coldwood Interactive have been spinning up the hype machine for their title that surprised everyone at E3, Unravel. Revealed on the same stage where Pele relived the majesty of futbol and DICE showed off their million dollar investment in Star Wars was this tiny, sweet little yarn character helping an old lady rebuild her memories.

  Introduced by Creative Director, Martin Sahlin, as a “story of love, longing and mending broken bonds” it’s no surprise that the music sounds perfectly, painfully on par. He goes on to describe it as a score to “break your heart and put it back together again” which is way more evocative a description than I could write from the clips I’ve heard so far.

  To create the music the Swedish team at Coldwood turned to local musicians familiar with the locations and style that the visuals are based on. Henrik Oja and Frida Johansson collaborated to create a soundtrack that builds on traditional Swedish instruments and folk music to capture the personal story of a single family. It’s also a dynamic score that builds and swings to match the gameplay as Yarny explores the world, puzzling out predicaments by unraveling his own yarn.

  You can listen to some of the music and hear more about the soundtrack in the video below.
