The release of the new UnofficialMSPA album Xenoplanetarium happened a few days ago to a minimal fanfare. Do listen to the full thing, because it’s pretty great (and also I have a song on it, which I’m fairly proud of).
However, I want to bring your attention to a specific track. Please listen to Acquiesce by psithurist, the album’s theme for the Land of Maps and Treasure. Homestuck music is something of a passion of mine, and I’ve heard pretty much everything that the community has put out, including quiet a few projects that I managed myself. Keeping this in mind, I think I can safely say that Acquiesce is certainly one of the best Homestuck tracks released in the past couple of years, and possibly one of the best ever for its style, to my ear. Psithurist is an incredibly talented musician, and one of the best producers in the Homestuck fanmusic community at the moment, in my opinion.
Acquiesce has a unique quality that’s unlike pretty much everything else in the canon. It has a sort of understated majesty, and the lyrical sections give me shivers every time I listen to them. Do yourself a favour and give it a listen (and the rest of the album while you’re at it, all the tracks are great)!
it is a mystery if it were in a minor key rather than major key
I feel like this is what happens when you’re in the mid-1800s in London and invited into the country to read the will of your great uncle Thomas with friends and relatives you didn’t know about and when you arrive, there’s a big ass thunderstorm, so no one can leave and the lights flicker, the organ by the windy stares plays by itself and cousin carter ends up impaled on a candlestick and you gotta figure out whodunit.
