Album Release!
Esophaguys Original Soundtrack (2025)
The first video game soundtrack dedicated entirely to the jews-harp. Composed of traditional music from Appalachia, Austria, the British Isles, India, Norway, and Yakutia paired with bold experimentations, every track is centered around the harp(s). Recorded all analog with overdubbing, using over 50 jews-harps in the process, this album is a love letter to the many global traditions of this instrument and an excursion into the unknown.
Featuring authentic performances of jews-harps coupled with banjo, guitar, kyl-kiyak, tambura, dholak, tabla, ghatam, seljefløyte, didjeridoo, steel tongue drum, and electric, wooden, and double-reed jew’s harps, may 40 tracks of tantalizing twanging tickle your cochleas all night long.
