Inspired by Death Stranding, CHVRCHES Debuts New Song, “Death Stranding”

CHVRCHES' track is the first from an original album featuring well-known artists.

Here at Sony Interactive Entertainment, we’re excited to announce that we’ve partnered with RCA Records to release a full album for upcoming PS4 game Death Stranding. Timefall (Original Music From the World of Death Stranding) is named for the mysterious rainfall that affects all it touches, while its songs find their inspiration in the game’s narrative focus: Sam Bridges and his journey to reconnect a fractured society and save mankind from extinction.

SIE and Kojima Productions set out to find artists in many different genres whose music evoked some of the key thematic elements in Death Stranding. Each artist on Timefall spent time with the team at SIE, interacting with the game’s story and vibe, coming up with their own unique takes on connection, love, loss, and rebirth. Today, you can hear the first of these, from renowned Scottish anthemic electro-pop group CHVRCHES. After spending time with Mr. Kojima at Kojima Productions in Tokyo, the band were inspired to write an original song. We’re thrilled to share it with you, the first of several hits to come.

If you haven’t yet, listen to CHVRCHES’ song “Death Stranding” here.

The album cover hones in on the mystery of the sci-fi, action-adventure game. Take a look below.

“Death Stranding” is only the first of a full set of original songs by notable musicians from a wide range of genres. Each track from Timefall is inspired by the message and world of Death Stranding. See who’s featured on the official artist roster:

1. “Trigger” Major Lazer x Khalid
2. “Ghost” Au/Ra x Alan Walker
3. “Death Stranding” CHVRCHES
4. “YELLOW BOX” The Neighbourhood
5. “Meanwhile…In Genova” The S.L.P.
6. “Ludens” Bring Me the Horizon
7. “Born in The Slumber” Flora Cash
8. “Sing to Me” MISSIO

You can get the digital album by purchasing the Death Stranding Special Edition ($69.99 USD MSRP/ $89.99 CAD MSRP) or the Death Stranding Collector’s Edition ($199.99 USD MSRP / $249.99 CAD MSRP). Pre-order either edition now.

In the meantime, keep a watchful eye on all of our official channels for more details around Death Stranding and Timefall (Original Music from the World of Death Stranding) as we get closer to the game’s November 8 launch date.

As always, tomorrow is in your hands.

[Bullet Club]

What's the budget of this game???

Plus whatever Sony are chipping in.

 

[Clear]

Pretty decent tune.

 

[Psykodad]

Not exactly sure what I was expecting, but that wasn't it.

 

[Breakage]

It's as if they have unlimited money for this project.

 

[crumbs]

My fastest reaction times in Forza Horizon 4 came when changing the radio station as that CHVRCHES song started playing.

 

[FMXVII]

What's the budget of this game???

Still not enough to gift Mayberry with symmetrically aligned eyes.

 

[Bullet Club]

 

[vpance]

Pretty decent tune.

Yep. Going to play it while taking a piss over a cliff

 

[Clover904]

An album of original songs inspired by Death Stranding? Thats pretty cool. The chvrches song is alright, but im looking forward to hearing the rest of the album.

 

[DonF]

Not what I expected, considering the music of the trailers. Not bad, but different.

 

[Javthusiast]

I am not religious thank you.

 

[FMXVII]

I am not religious thank you.

The Cvlt of Kojima is not amused.

 

[Belmonte]

I am not religious thank you.

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

[MDSLKTR]

Zoomer music

 

[Joe T.]

The Chvrches track is fine, but looking at that track list is like looking at the Batman Forever soundtrack CD for the first time. Odd match.

 

[Moses85]

More than $500 million

R you joking?

 

[Geki-D]

R you joking?

He is.

We've never been told the budget though we can assume it'll be around 100-150 million. MGSV cost 80 million and 200 million is Rockstar level game budget.

 

[Breakage]

Sounds like something you'd hear on a Gilmore Girls YouTube MV.

 

[Enjay]

I wish someone would leak footage from koji's office. Seriously just imagining him listening to this while nodding his head to it and then saying "I want this song in my game" is hilarious to me.

 

[brap]

Fucking garbage. I don't have enough estrogen in my body to enjoy this trash.

 

[Javthusiast]

Chvrches (what a hipster spelling btw) has got nothing on:

 

[Moses85]

Fucking garbage. I don't have enough estrogen in my body to enjoy this trash.

 

[IncognitoPanda]

The Chvrches track is fine, but looking at that track list is like looking at the Batman Forever soundtrack CD for the first time. Odd match.

Alan walker is a ridiculous artist. He basically only has one song that he tweaks from track to track. Plus the whole wannabe-Banksy thing. A bit ashamed to say he is Norwegian.

 

[EverydayBeast]

I'll go 4/5

 

[Bakkus]

Alan walker is a ridiculous artist. He basically only has one song that he tweaks from track to track. Plus the whole wannabe-Banksy thing. A bit ashamed to say he is Norwegian.

Yeah, but that goes for most of these DJs

 

[Bryank75]

I am not religious thank you.

Why not?

 

[Grand Theft Scratchy]

The song doesn't make me think of Death Stranding at all.

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

He is.

We've never been told the budget though we can assume it'll be around 100-150 million. MGSV cost 80 million and 200 million is Rockstar level game budget.

No way it's more than $80 million, no freaking way. It's definitely around $25-30 million but anything more than that is just marketing budget costs, so a total of $50 million max.

 

[ExpandKong]

Inspired by chvrches, Hideo Kojima starts his own church. Geoff Keighley promoted from dorito pope to actual pope. In the name of the big boss, the solid snake, and the psycho mantis amen.

 

[Kagero]

R you joking?

Yeah. It was a bad attempt at a joke referencing the rumoured Halo Infinite cost of over $500 million

God damn, this is so lame

God damn, this is so lame

BLASPHEMER

 

[Werewolf Jones]

This band sold the fuck out at FTL speeds after their first album.

 

[FMXVII]

This band sold the fuck out at FTL speeds after their first album.

Their sophomore album wasn't THAT bad.

But there was nothing danceable either.

The third album was... a lot of directly on the nose exposition.

But do two dudes on synth and pixie with a good voice constitute "a band"?

Was the Sega Genesis a band, if 80% of players could make out "Rise From Your Grave!", after pressing start?

 

[angelic]

Corporate budgeted marketing music by pretentious bands is my favourite.

 

[Northeastmonk]

"Let's make a toast to the damned Waitin' for tomorrow "... "Let's draw a line in the sand. Keep it straight and narrow "..... "You can take my heart Hold it together as we fall apart"

I bought the iTunes sampler and pre-ordered the remaining ensemble of songs. It has an interesting feel to it, like one of those songs that play in a movie trailer that try to shine light on the overall mood of the film.
