Cuphead Songs & Sketches 2-CD set preorders open at iam8bit
Record label iam8bit has opened preorders for the 2-CD set "Cuphead Songs & Sketches," mastered for compact disc by Wreckhouse Mastering. The reprint of the collection of jazz and big band songs comes packaged with extensive liner notes by composer Kristofer Maddigan and archival concept artwork.

Cuphead’s Xbox Anniversary Update added archive photos, behind-the-scenes videos, and an in-game music player. The bonus content includes over one hundred resolution photos from the MDHR archives, revealing never-before-seen concept art and unused illustrations.

Developed by StudioMDHR, Cuphead is available for Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 consoles. The PC edition for Windows, Mac, and Linux is hosted on Steam, verified for use with the Steam Deck.


From the iam8bit product page:
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!
