UPDATE (Aug 29, 2022): Into the Breach music composer Ben Prunty has released the new Into the Breach Advanced Edition Soundtrack on Bandcamp, where you can elect to name your price when obtaining it as a FREE digital album download, and having the (paid) option of unlimited Bandcamp mobile app streaming and directly supporting Ben Prunty
NOTE: this Advanced Edition sountrack, is a new follow-up album to his original (Feb 2018) Into the Breach Soundtrack (priced at US$7.00)
====================================
For those of you who have been playing with the recently updated Into the Breach: Advanced Edition content update, you may have noticed that there are two new tracks that were composed and added by Ben Prunty.
... and he is currently working on releasing a new Into the Breach: Advanced Edition OST album (source: Twitter post)
"I hope everyone's enjoying the new Into the Breach music! To answer some questions:
1. I will release the new music soon
2. It will be in the form of a separate album, since it isn't practical to add music to an already-released album
3. There will be lots of bonus content!"
In the meantime while waiting for his new album to come out, here is a recent interview that Ben Prunty did with NME, pretty interesting to read about how he and Subset Games developers approached music composition for FTL and ITB
one excerpt from the interview:
"When the game first released, there did seem to be some surprise among reviewers at the music,” Prunty recollects. “Several people said they couldn’t figure out what genre the soundtrack was, which made me very happy.” And that ties into what he and the team wanted to do: as with FTL, it would have been rote to simply retread old ground. That’s not what Subset is about. “Our goal was essentially the same as it was with FTL: make music that breaks expectations. For FTL, the goal was to avoid Star Wars-esque bombast. For Into the Breach it was to avoid folksy guitar, which is somehow now pop culture’s official music of the apocalypse."
