The music of Rustie invites comparison to video game soundtracks. It’s electronic, loud, hyperactive, and filled with blown-out synths that sound not entirely dissimilar to something blaring from a Sega Genesis game. Some would also suggest that it lacks subtlety.
And, thus, there is now a Rustie video game.
Admittedly, the execution is not as obvious as the idea itself. The game, made by Warp and Hunter Loftis in promotion for the release next week of Rustie’s Green Language, isn’t the visceral, psychedelic experience you might expect, but instead a mid-90s-style PC first-person game. (Alternately: looks like Minecraft.) Those things tended to feature moody ambient music (sometimes by Trent Reznor), very different from the Green Language tracks that soundtrack this game. In fact, the game serves as a stream for the record, with each level featuring a different song from the record. At the game’s completion, you will receive a more, well, formal stream of the album. You must hear the album to hear the album, you feel me? No?
