Hey, if you have ever listened to or enjoyed Homestuck music, do yourself a favour and listen to this.
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)!
