Elsie Action-Platformer Soundtrack Delivers Sleek Rock Fusion

Fast-paced action platformer Elsie's blazing rock fusion soundtrack with several bonus tracks by composer Eric Benaim is out now via Scarlet Moon Records

SAN DIEGO - March 14, 2025 - Scarlet Moon and composer Eric Benaim are thrilled to make available the highly-anticipated soundtrack to Elsie, a technicolour, hyperkinetic, rogue-like action-platformer filled with procedurally generated levels, an army of robots to blast through, and a wide scope of items and weaponry to make each run unique. Developed by Knight Shift Games and published by Playtonic Friends, players have been blasting their way through robot armies for months, but haven't been able to enjoy the soundtrack outside of the game until now. The score is equally "kinetic" with its sleek rock fusion stylings. Listeners will enjoy sleek exploration themes and blazing battle themes alongside several bonus tracks included for the completionists out there. The Elsie (Original Game Soundtrack) is available everywhere today:

"We'd been following Elsie with admiration for years," comments Scarlet Moon's Jayson Napolitano. "We immediately fell in love with the vibrant visual style and the incredible soundtrack by Eric Benaim. After talking about working together for years, I'm thrilled to collaborate with Eric to get this incredible soundtrack out to fans. I hope everyone loves it as much as I do!"

"For the Elsie soundtrack I had the opportunity to work with a passionate development team," notes from composer Eric Benaim. "This provided me the freedom to create music featuring an eclectic mix of influences from the hard rock of 'Eclipse Skyport' and the salsa, merengue, and rumba sounds in 'Rose Garden' to the jazzy 'Circuit City' and Venezuelan waltzes and joropos of 'Howling Tundra.' My favorite track is the Howling Tundra's boss theme, 'Warlus and Big Omega' where I added a synthesizer solo over a Venezuelan joropo base, drawing influences from my cultural upbringing. Fans may also enjoy comparing the bonus tracks to their final counterparts, written seven years apart, as the bonus tracks were early versions of the main menu and station level themes. I aimed to provide an interesting and energetic listening experience for everyone to enjoy. Thank you for listening!"
