Celebrating TOEM 2’s Totally Terrific Soundtrack 🎼
As another indie game year nears it’s end, here we have one of the best titles of the year. Something We Made’s super charming TOEM 2 just launched this week and also brings with it a fantabulous soundtrack.
Two composers worked on the music: Launchable Socks (real name Joost Kraaijenbrink) and Jamal Green. This collaboration makes for a lo-fi uplifting time of it, made all the better as the game is fabulous.
The Gorgeous Score to TOEM 2
There are 36 pieces in total here, most of them around two minutes in length. It’s quite a short game, with many different mini-areas to explore, but the music evolves and shifts around as you move from one bit to the next.
When the excellent TOEM launched in 2020, the soundtrack was an immediate joy and the dev team built gameplay mechanics in to bring it to the fore. You can swap cassettes out of the in-game cassette player to pick your favourite songs for any given area.
Jamal Green and Launchable Socks did the music there, too, and they’ve followed similar innovative ambience vibes here. Some of it is reflective (as with The Very Best Cup of Tea), others bouncy and uplifting (see further below).
This one here, with a Medieval vibe, Taletorp Quest 84. Important to note, as you listen, that it’s quite unusual to have two composers collaborate on a game soundtrack. We’ve been writing these reviews for over a decade and can only recall a few other examples, such as with the soundtrack for point-and-click game Norco (2022).
Launchable Socks specialists in tracks electronic sounds with guitars, and ukuleles. Jamal Green is a British composer who won a 2023 BAFTA for breakthrough artist with his ambient and neo-classical style.
If you’re wondering, the game is in black and white as the devs wanted to match the greyscale/monochrome look of classic photography. For such a vibrant game, it’s a unique artistic look.
Then you’ve got the multi-layered music playing over the top to bring it all to life.
Some tracks play into bleepy bloopy type game soundtracks of old, or least seem to be nodding at that, before taking on more complex looping soundscapes. Bioluminescence is a particular favourite.
It’s all very wholesome and uplifting, offering brief moments of refrain across each mini-area.
Stuff like Magic In Every Step open with a one-off hook and then pass into more introspective and quiet sections. It’s quite an unusual structure to pieces, but we love it.
36 tracks of it! And this is why we love video games. You get the fun and joy of TOEM 2, a wonderful little game, then these banging tunes over the top of it all. A glorious combination.

Elephant Stone • Sacred Buzz • Double Album Release Show at Neue Zukunft, Berlin
Neue Zukunft, Thursday, November 12 at 08:00 PM GMT+1
Positive Transmitter & Crunch Tapes present:
Elephant Stone • Sacred Buzz • double album release show
12 November 2026
Neue Zukunft, Berlin
Doors: 19:00, Show: 20:00
Tickets on sale via DICE
At the center of Montreal’s Elephant Stone is Rishi Dhir, a songwriter and sitarist who has spent twenty years blurring the lines between Western psych-pop and Indian classical tradition. What began in 2006 as a quest for transcendental sound has evolved into a singular, self-contained vision. Operating out of his Montreal home studio, Sacred Sound, Dhir has emerged as a true studio auteur—producing, engineering, and mixing the band’s increasingly complex and cinematic output.
While the band’s reputation was built on airtight pop craftsmanship and spiritual exploration, their recent work—anchored by longtime members Miles Dupire, Robbie MacArthur, and Jason Kent—possesses a new, raw intensity. It is a sound forged through Dhir’s deep collaborative history with icons like The Black Angels, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, and Beck, as well as his role in the psych-supergroup MIEN.
With a discography spanning 10 acclaimed releases, Elephant Stone remains at the forefront of the modern movement, constantly deconstructing the past to find something visceral, haunting, and undeniably human in the present.
Bandcamp: https://elephantstonemusic.bandcamp.com/album/asha
*
Berlin’s psychedelic outfit Sacred Buzz will present their debut self-titled album, out October 9 on Sound Effect Records. Showcasing their turn to a more expansive sound and exploration of new ideas and spaces, the band will unleash the full force of their fuzz-drenched, groove-locked dimensions.
Sacred Buzz's self-titled debut LP explores the nature of reality through sci-fi and philosophical ideas, woven together with cinematic twists and vivid imagery. Surreal lyrics emerge from an echoing voice, keeping you suspended while the locked-in krautrock groove of bass and drums anchors your body to the earth. Raw, reverberating guitars laced with fuzz paint intricate patterns across the mind, while droning organ textures provide an underlying ambience that completes Sacred Buzz's sonic palette.
