LOS ANGELES – October 3, 2023 – After bringing fans the physical exclusive editions of Neon White for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, iam8bit has again teamed up with publisher Annapurna Interactive and developers Ben Esposito and Angel Matrix to bring Neon White's official soundtrack to vinyl. Two volumes will be available for purchase, each making up half of the exceptional electronica soundtrack. More details about the release can be found below:
Neon White Soundtrack Part 1 “The Wicked Heart” ($42.99) - Volume 1 of the Neon White soundtrack features the finest tracks built for the game’s uber-fast and uber-frantic speedrun-style gameplay - the kind of synthy strains and chords you can really grind your teeth to. The 2xLP features 18 Machine Girl songs pressed on Neon Red and Purple Splatter vinyl. Artist Rebecca Ryan nailed the old-school aesthetic, and Neon White creator Ben Esposito brought the album’s design together into one triumphant package.
Neon White Soundtrack Part 2 “The Burn That Cures” ($42.99) - Volume 2 of the Neon White soundtrack is loaded with big beats, retro record scratches, and hot, fresh loops crafted especially for the game’s iconic overworld, as well as character and story themes designed to tug at your heartstrings. The 2xLP features 33 Machine Girl songs pressed on Neon Green and Blue Splatter vinyl and features artwork from Rebecca Ryan with design by Ben Esposito.
Neon White is an action-packed first-person shooter where players take up the role of the titular character as he tries to piece together the mysteries of his past life. Along the way, hordes of demon invaders are defeated, the secrets of the afterlife are revealed, and redemption is finally found. All the while, Machine Girl's electronic-punk soundtrack delivers an extra layer of intensity to each battle and emotional story point.
Both volumes of the Neon White soundtrack on vinyl will be available for pre-order beginning Wednesday, October 4 at 9 a.m. PDT on iam8bit.com and are expected to ship in Q1 of 2024.

About Machine Girl
The Machine Girl narrative bridges the divide for all hardcore kids, metalheads, ravers, noisers, footworkers, industrialists, punks, and goths alike. They are internationally known for their vitriolic, organic, massive underground following developed through a sense of aesthetic maximalism both online and off. MG have become dually infamous for their cathartic, unpredictable and acrobatic performances and their uncompromising, genre-oblivious catalog.
Kerrang! listed them as one of the “bands expanding the definition of hardcore,” and described the project as "a particularly punky and ferocious breed of the electronic sub-genre breakcore, that could easily pass for hardcore when they rip it live.”
