Gjedda was created way over ten years ago in a cabin located in the depths of Norway. Armed with cassette players, samplers and 1 synth they created an EP called "Redd Min Fremtid" [Save My Future]
The duo's idea going in was to create something inspired by videogame bossfight-music and sample-based electronic music. With heavy background in hip-hop as well as metal music this EP was bound to be something special.
After a long weekend the EP was created and shelved for over 10 years.
Bringing forth this release today is absolutely wonderful, as this is such an electronic gem waiting to be discovered by the niche listener!
It stands the test of time, gnarly electronic feedbacks and synth-licks to adore. Packed in the lo-fi warmth of sampling cassette tape for distortion and adding the hardest and snappiest of drum sounds! This EP has that human experimental touch that gives character to each track.
Including a remix done by Tater Andersson. Tater lifts the track "Er Pilot" to fast driven dance tune, with punchy kicks and old school fuzzed out 303 basslines. Perfect tracks you can vibe to, or for a workout playlist!

Splatoon 3: Side Order is good, but not great. I still highly recommend it, but if you care about the story, you're going to be disappointed. Quick review: spoilers ahead.
Side Order was the devs experimenting with Splatoon's gameplay loop. The campaign is a rogue-like, and it works amazingly well. Super fun, super challenging, building my deck and fighting through challenges with the stakes of resetting really scratched an itch in my brain. They did a great job with it.
Unfortunately, I feel like priority went to game design rather than story. Much of the mysterious artwork we saw in the first teaser trailer was completely unused; turns out, all of that was just concept art that never made it into the final product. Side Order failed to make me care about what was happening. I don't know why the protagonist had to be Agent 8; it could've been anyone else and the story would've worked the same.
Octo Expansion was the absolute peak of meshing story and gameplay. The campaign's hook is insanely strong; we immediately empathize with Agent 8 because we know from previous lore that octolings like her have been trapped underground for all their lives. We care about her fight to the surface because it's a fundamentally ideological fight for freedom. The plot stuff about Tartar and the Thangs is just nice set dressing; 8's fight for freedom is the real story.
There's none of that in Side Order. I don't particularly care about Marina's metaverse, even if it's tied to Octo Expansion's story. I don't know why Acht is there other than backstory stuff. It really feels like 8 is just told to do something and she does it because she's the protagonist; she has zero personal stakes or motivations in the conflict. This is a story blunder the devs did in Splatoon 3's default campaign––forgetting to give the protagonist a personal reason to fight––that I hoped would be fixed here, but alas.
What makes it worse is that the gameplay and story progression are completely out of sync. I beat the entire game on my third run in 4 hours. With each run, you get up to two keys to potentially unlock bits of story. That means you'll get about one piece of the story every two runs. There are twelve pieces of the story; I got the first and then beat the whole damn game. Now I have to go back and grind to see the remaining story when I've already beaten the final boss and resolved the conflict. I missed the entire story because I never had to reset because I blazed through the gameplay! It's just a real shame that I experienced everything without knowing... why it's happening. The final boss had me asking myself what the hell is going on because I don't know the backstory at all.
Again, I still really recommend. The devs did a great job, but Side Order remains in the shadow of Octo Expansion's incredible success. Like the default singleplayer campaign, there's just a lot of lost story potential here that, while not necessary, would have really elevated this DLC into something amazing.

“look, kunikuzushi!” you hold out your hands, marvelling at the pretty sakura petals that drift atop your open palm. ecstatic, you turn, showing off the seasonal flowers in bloom to the young man you’ve grown fond of. “aren’t they pretty?”
“yeah,” he says, momentarily dazed from the image bestowed before him. “they truly are beautiful.”
(“—like you,” he wishes to add, but keeps it to himself instead to savour this peaceful moment of yours together.)
you giggle at his words, muttering something along the lines of “you seem to adore them more than i do!”, but he’s too out of it to notice — too enamored and deeply raptured by the being that is you; passionately; wholeheartedly; abysmally.
kunikuzushi has only heard of the tales of love and the feelings the emotion springs forth, but has yet to experience it himself; a wanderer and puppet he may be (but he is still a living being who wishes to explore this world and its nuances nonetheless). but you, he’s come to realise with a small smile of revelation, are his eternal spring amidst the chilly winds.
a familiar flutter occurs within, and he stares at his palm as a sakura petal drifts atop it. gently, his fist encloses around the singular petal and he brings it up to his lips in hope.
please, he begs to himself, a seemingly quiet prayer that only overpowers the erratic voices within his mind, don’t be my fourth betrayal.
(but scaramouche should’ve known that was wishful thinking — distorted images of you drift through his mind like autumnal leaves, and yet your smile remains as beautiful as the sakura petals you once bestowed so wholeheartedly to him.
so warm and radiant... he’ll engrave your being into his longevity; his fourth betrayal.)
