The pair are excited to announce that they’re bringing the inventive score of the 2022 sleeper hit rhythm game, Melatonin, to vinyl, available to pre-order now on iam8bit.com.

Cade Phillips’ original soundtrack (featuring additional songs by Yotam Perel, Mothense, and Filippo Vicarelli) comes to life on two gorgeous Lavender Vinyl discs, perfect for spinning as you doze off, drifting sweetly into dreamland. For the album art, Elvin Budiman put together a sweetly cozy piece that brings to mind homey bedrooms and sleepy late nights.
