Daughter yesterday Tweeted what the artwork for the collection, titled Music From Before The Storm. Fans on Reddit discovered the release and tracklist using an app called Record Bird.
Music From Before The Storm will feature three tracks from Daughter's catalogue as well
"We are so proud to have written the soundtrack for Life Is Strange: Before the Storm," Daughter's Elena Tonra say in a statement. "It was our first experience working on an original soundtrack, and we are so honoured to have been given the opportunity to work with the team. We loved the story on first read as it centres around realistic female lead characters who are emotional, intelligent, sensitive, and badass in equal measure. I think the characters themselves have really inspired the soundscapes we have created. It was a pleasure to be involved."
"We wanted to have fun with this project so we made something we felt could be a soundtrack for the characters in the game themselves," adds the band's Igor Haefeli. "It was also important for us to make sure this collection of songs and pieces of music stood on their own so we really went that extra mile. We hope players and non-players alike will equally enjoy it."
Daughter's most recent music came last year when they shared bonus material from the sessions for LP2 Not To Disappear.
