One of the best things about (or as a fair amount of people would be quick to tell you, the only good thing about) NieR was it’s soundtrack. Popular enough to spawn not one, but FOUR arrange albums in addition to the base soundtrack, it’s a sweeping, often melancholy affair. At the center of these are vocals by Emi Evans, who performs these in a fictional language, sung in a different style/dialect imitating an existing language depending on the track in question (in which she “tried to imagine what they’d sound like after 1000 years of drafting”, keeping in line with the game’s “humanity just barely starting to recover from an apocalypse” setting). In the case of The Wretched Automatons, it’s faux-English amidst the sounds of assembly line, busy constructing...well, the song’s namesake.
