While the acoustic comforts of a home stereo are typically recommended when listening to vinyl, Outer Wilds requires a different setting. You’ll want to lug your audio rig into the wilderness and plant it amongst nature, where you can truly soak yourself in darkness drenched star-gazing. Composer Andrew Prahlow’s prolific score is the kind of hopeful, transcendent soundtrack that instantly readjusts your demeanor to a state of awe, reminding you just how vast the universe is. There’s no better way to explore your inner self – proverbially roasting marshmallows alongside banjo strumming – than with this beautiful, poignant masterpiece of an album. Even more secrets await within it’s grooves, but we’d be remiss in revealing those here and spoiling a delightful surprise.
