I shouldn't be surprised to find out the soundtrack to Southend Interactive's Ilomilo meshes nicely with the delightfully chaotic visuals presented on screen. I shouldn't, but I am.
The music is the sort of relaxed, cheerful, straight-up catchy stuff we don't necessarily hear a lot of in videogame tunes these days. Plus, the use of quirky sound effects really feeds into this idea -- think back to, say, the 90s when there were more constraints on what could and couldn't be done.
The Ilomilo dev blog is currently offering free downloads of the soundtrack. You know what to do.
[Thanks, power-glove]
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Protip: Press play, mute your speakers and read the article while the video loads. I enjoy giving Dtoid ad revenue money because that means they don't need my money.

Sorry, just beating the fanboys to the punch. You just know somebody will say it. This looks cute, and the music is catchy. I'll be keeping an eye out for this.
