Cuphead CD Set: Songs & Sketches

• iam8bit Japan Import
• 2-Disc CD Set, including 12 variant tracks & two completely new, never-before-released tracks!
• Music by Kristofer Maddigan
• Lovingly Mastered for CD by Wreckhouse Mastering
• Exclusive Booklet w/ Archival Cuphead Artwork and never-before-read Liner Notes by composer Kristofer Maddigan

The rollicking, lively jazz of Cuphead is a musical institution of modern game soundtracks… which is a bit of an oxymoron, considering it is truly a blast from the past. It’s a score that defies convention, boasting a 1930s style big band luster that can only be achieved by recording super talented humans playing actual old-school instruments in a studio. 

The tunes have become so popular globally that StudioMDHR and iam8bit Japan teamed up to release a 2-CD set, featuring — for the first time ever — composer Kris Maddigan’s extensive liner notes, because he’s simply never written down his thoughts on the inspiration for and creation and recording of the Cuphead soundtrack until... right now!

iam8bit is proud to make this one-of-a-kind release available once again. The Cuphead CD Set: Songs & Sketches is a certified fan-favorite, so a repress was a no-brainer. Speaking of which, you grabbing a copy before they’re gone is a no-brainer, too.  

Part of the first-ever iam8bit CD Extravaganza.
