Other cuts like “Angel Wings” personify the gray cloud of a mental lethargy that drags down both the body and mind, while “The Arrival” has a harsh resonance to its mystifying atmospherics. Enter the sonic foil of spectacles like “Xanadu” where hair-raising synths invite a sensation of overwhelming, inescapable dread. There’s also drama, depressive tendencies, and sprinklings of tension in Kentucky Route Zero’s soundtrack. Much of the work here is simultaneously celestial and subtly personal, existing in an everlasting duality of as above, so below. Songs like “5 Dogwood Drive” make for ambient daydreams, unearthing undercurrents of pure catharsis, while others like “To Love a Red Moon” are nostalgic for a moment beyond memory. It offers boundless potential that’s echoed on tracks like “Julian” where ethereal keys are held tight, unrelenting in their acceleration toward eternity. Album opener “The Stars Drop Away” is a dewy, delicate meditation with an otherworldly cadence. At times intimate and at other times sweeping in scope, Babbitt encapsulates the moments of inward-facing reflection alongside the drama of protagonist Conway’s journey. The instrumental intonations of composer Ben Babbitt are truly stunning throughout Kentucky Route Zero. There are no demarcated boundaries between regional tradition and art toying with the edges of existence in this collection of songs.

But that anchor quickly dissipates into the ether as ambient noise makes way for down-south praise with the iconography of God in heaven, all before morphing back into subdued sonic fractals. The immense soundtrack unfolds according to the game’s five acts, in the order in which each episode debuted, and therefore has a sense of traditional structure. Signposts fade away and we’re all left with sweeping gestures and abstractions of emotions and visceral noise, and oh, is the noise grand. There’s a rhythm and a logic to the acclaimed game, but it doesn’t quite adhere to our spacetime continuum as our collective reality is refracted through prisms to the point of only faint recognition.
