the minecraft soundtrack but it's midwest emo 

Watch the 'making of' of this album here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aiI7uttxfZc.html CD and Cassette super limited edition Argentina: tiendamicrotapes.empretienda.com.ar/cds/minewest-emo-lp Non-Argentina: send a DM at instagram.com/microtapesrecords The reception this project is having is way beyond any of my expectations. I'm so happy that so many people are finding this to be a nostalgia trip to their childhoods/early teens. Thank you so much to everyone for taking your time to listen to the whole thing, for commenting and sharing and special thanks to everyone who went out of their way and actually supported me on Bandcamp by donating some cash when getting the album. Every contribution, no matter how small or big it is, is of insane amount of help to me. It's been a few rough months for me economically so every little donation I get really feels like a push to keep doing what I love. Biggest thanks to Alex Tanooki for giving me the chance of working on this project and trusting their idea solely on me and my creative process. The absolute creative freedom and deadline flexibility they gave me allowed me to make this the way it is. I'm forever grateful

when your minecraft girlfriend respawns in another guy's bed...

It hasn't been the same since Alex took the dog and left the dirt house

"yeah bro tomorrow we can build the mob farm" "alright bro see ya tomorrow" *Last online 7 years ago*

This album is the feeling of realizing 2012 was 12 years ago and Minecraft will never feel the same as it did when you were a kid

when she didnt place her bed next to yours 😔

During the dawn of AI generated content, this shows how much further genuine human effort and vision can go in making art. You deserve to feel really good about this and I hope you do.

"I will now play music to focus." I pretend to myself.

I'm sorry Steve but Alex's dad got a job in a new biome.

In my restless dreams, I see that town, Blocky Hill. You promised you'd open the server again someday. But you never did.

I JUST CLICKED ON THIS RANDOMLY WHY DOES IT GO SO HARD

Remember that house we built together? Our dogs are still waiting for us there. But you're...gone....

The house from that American Football picture is from my hometown so i'm kinda famous you could say

This is unironically what growing up with Minecraft sounds like

if someone presented this to me without any context i wouldve thought it was a cool midwest emo album, it sounds good enough to be its own thing lmao

Me: Im done building Enderman: me too.

midwest emo be like: "man life sure is tough, anyways heres the most beautiful and complex song you'll ever listen to"

My dog just died and my mob farm just got fucked by a charged creeper

home is where the spawn is those blocks wont place themselves

I feel like all midwest emo kids have the same core memory: it's a cool summer night, you've been outside all day with friends. Fireflies light up the neighborhood. The street lights are on, that means it's time to come home... you come up to your house, toss your bike in the front yard without a care in the world. You can see a light on inside. Man, what a fun day. Can't wait for tomorrow. I'm going to hang out with my friends forever. Life is good.

this sounds like flying over your oldest world for the last time, it's beautiful

Wet hands had zero right to go as hard as it did

But she would never be mine craft

Subwoofer lullaby is by far my fav in both the og soundtrack and in this.

living mice is the best Minecraft ost song and no-one can prove me wrong

Super impressed! I'm used to "____ but it's _____" musical projects being simple soundfont or instrumentation swaps, but this is genuinely creative and has some nice orchestration. DOPE AS HELL!!!!!!!

Seeing the creator get so hyped at the positive reception to something they made for the love of it reminds me of the early days of RU-vid. This is phenomenal, glad its getting the attention it should.

Minecraft will never feel the same as it did back in the day when we played on 1.4.5

when you emerge from a three day mining expedition and your house is nowhere in sight

this either cured my depression or made it worse and im not sure which but im happy to be here.

listening to this makes me realize... post-rock is theatrical midwest emo without the lyrics

oh... this. this is what homesickness sounds like... the feeling of moving out of your hometown... knowing things are so much better now... but you still long for home a little bit. you miss driving around town once you got your license... going to the convenience store to get a slushie and some chips.. skateboarding with your friends... the bus ride to school. coming home and hopping on minecraft with your friends. the bittersweet feeling of graduating.. this is what it sounds like. It's the piece of home you always carry with you.

dude i was not expecting thr drums on track 1 to hit so hard

How playing Minecraft with shaders on feels:

I remember skateboarding at night when I was 19 in my old neighborhood knowing this was probably one of the last times this is gonna happen. This album explains that feeling. Don't forget to live, y'all.

Living Mice is giving me serious Death Note vibes I fucking love it

It's unironically one of the best Midwest emo/math Rock albums I've listened to in a while😂

He respected the original material and still made something genuine and new. Congratulations!

Even nailed the album cover aesthetic, regardless this is some amazing mixing and mastering thoo

sitting here on a windy, rainy day with this playing while thinking about everything up until this point in my life hits different. this goes so fuckin hard.

I was brushing it off in my feed as a shitpost, but you take so much creative liberty in translating the songs in a way that's loyal to both the originals and the big hitters of midwest emo. Genuinely just a really good album, look forward to more of your projects.

Im only one song in and this sounds gorgeous. Theres unironically a lot of overlap with how these two things are perceived. Midwest Emo: a genre about nostalgia, remembrance, and melancholy Minecraft's soundtrack: Melancholic, instills nostalgia, reminds you of simpler times

You said we’d mine forever, now I’m all alone, in our cobblestone fortress…

i didnt know what i was getting into but when those drums hit god damn

I honestly want you to release this on Spotify as your own songs dude these are insane and honestly I love them you are a great musician and I’m glad I clicked on this video

so i put this on for background noise while i was high last night hanging out with one of my friends, and it was one of the best experiences ive ever had. thank you for doing this

This could stand on its own as an instrumental midwest emo masterpiece bro. The fact that it's minecraft songs just makes it go from 10/10 to 11/10. Please put this on streaming platforms if you haven't already!!!

This clearly took a lot of work. This set in when I starting thinking, a human, not a robot, actually made this.

I actually fucking cried when clark started playing, i miss my older friends i was playing 24/7 with

living mice is still my favorite one on this album like it genuinely makes me cry cause of how beautiful it is 🥹 the work we made was beautiful

nobody cares where you're at in the cave, until you find diamonds

absolutely loved the reference to American Football - Honestly in 16:42

bro the american football build cover is so cool and the music is so nostalgic:)

the moment in dry hands when it's the same as the honestly american football riff , magic

BROOO this is crazyyy!! I didnt NOT expect to hear this level of quality when I saw/clicked the thumbnail mate! was TOTALLY expecting some weird AI mashup of the american football/minecraft. Be proud dude!

have a friend who sits on the corner block selling pearls to the girls when they cross the lot told him he should quit that blocky scene he said nothing compares to the cubic dream

mice on venus was already a midwest emo song so hearing it like this just reinforces it for me

when she moves to another server

u just know this one gonna blow up

I clicked on this expecting it to be a meme, holy crap did it hit hard. This album made me nostalgic for nostalgia. I was almost crying during Mice on Venus 😞😓

Bro the beginning of dry hands was so perfect. This whole thing is so awesome

babyyyy !! loved it

This shit goes way harder than it needed to, bravo lad. This channel is hella under appreciated.

Lying on the floor while listening to this. Truly such a beautiful rendition

This makes the songs sadder for some people

i came from a Brazilian streamer called felps! he showed your work at one of his streams! such an amazing job, congratulations!!!!

MY SOUL! Give it baack 😭😭😭😭

I love this, bittersweet nostalgia mixed with youthful joy. Thank you.

I have been listening to this for two weeks nonstop... so atmospheric and nostalgic. I put it on my headphones when I visited the chalk cliffs of southern england and just painted. Beautiful memories now associated with this music

Oh wow, I didn't know I needed this. Astounding work! I expected it a bit to be somewhat lazier, but there is so much creative work put into this building on the given base it left me flabbergasted. Can't wait for the spotify release!

The Haggstrom arrangement has serious Oh Hello vibes. Every track is masterfully done, thanks for sharing this!

THIS ACTUALLY GOES SO INSANELY HARD

Still actively playing minecraft to this day but hearing this gave a sort of nostalgia for the days when we had tutorial worlds and i used to stay up all night just playing on one world- i wonder if my dogs are still waiting in my base

This is actually super sick! Love how much you made it actually fit the genre with all the compositional changes

how you were able to emulate americ anfootball’s sound so perfectly while feeling fresh is beyond me - this is lowkey better than their most recent projects bro < 3

The transmogrification of nostalgia into a complex triumph. You're making an ouroboros of the past and the present, and I think this will always kick ass.

this came up in my recommended and since it started playing i haven't moved from my seat. i'm just, listening. it's been a while since i stopped doing multiple things at once while listening to music and just sat and contemplated

I couldn't tell you what Dry Hands sounded like on the OG album but DAMN did I love it here. Sounded like you guys just got back from a break in the show and were getting tuned/warmed back up and then caught on fire.

Only 2 tracks in and this is fucking spectacular. It’s always lovely to see the care and passion that goes into these projects which blatantly shows through the art, it’s genuinely inspiring. I’m gonna listen to the rest later when I play Minecraft for real ❤️❤️❤️ I hope this finds you well

this is literally so good wtf i thought it would be a joke

hey guys - this is the boardwalk of giggles here!! i hope all yall out there be gigglin and GIGGLIN every day like i am...i know i need a good chuckle every now and then to get me goin for the day. godspeed and hope yall find success in that gooddddd ole life of urs

This is giving me 2 different kinds of nostalgia at the same time. You made pure gold here, it sounds SO GOOD.

a quick one before the ender dragon consumes the overworld

this reminds me of my brother a ton because 1. he'd probably listen to or learn to play (on guitar) things like this 2. i played minecraft with him a ton when i was younger

I would never thought that that was the last time i have played this game with all my friends, it was all so innocent back then...

My 2000's myself just peeked through my eyes and wanted to be outside for the first time in a while

its like the text bumped into the edge and noticed us looking at it and got shy.

it's like two of the most nostalgic and heart-wrenching things were mixed together actually it is

The fact this mix sounds so smooth not only does it speaks well of your ability with the guitar and the mixing of sounds, but also of how well done the original soundtrack is. It's the kind of music that could be played by an orchestra and still manage to sound harmonic and pleasing to the listener, such a lot for music designed for a game! Greetings from Argentina, and hope you keep it up with the good work!

To think that a midwest emo version of the minecraft soundtrack can give me such nostalgic feelings as some of the biggest midwest emo songs just shows how good this is!

really glad people still listening to midwest emo nowadays, keep the hard work dude your album is literal fire 🔥

this goes insanely hard also, as a post-rock fan, this gives me late 2000s early 2010s post rock vibes too. I could totally see a band like sleepmakeswaves or The End of the Ocean or There's a Light putting out something like this

honestly im so used to "____ but its _____" videos that this genuinely floored me with how good it is. amazing work

"WAKE ME UP WHEN THE NETHER ENDS"

This rendition of Cat is easily one of my favorite songs of all time. Thank you for this masterpiece!!

The fact that this is just straight-up well-produced post-rock. So high-quality

was worried that it was a mistake to listen to this stoned but boy do I not regret it. Great stuff. Hope C418 hears this too

Reminds me a lot of Do Make Say Think, and I mean that in the best possible way. Very cool, thanks so much for cheering me up while I'm sick

Unironically my new study music

I have no idea what the minecraft soundtrack sounds like but American Football slaps. Second wave emo + midwest emo so underrated, in this essay I will- Anyone else care that it's 2024 and Sunny Day Real Estate has blessed us with a new song? It's really time for the second wave emo revival huh
