British folk rock band Daughter has composed Life Is Strange: Before the Storm’s soundtrack – and if you haven’t heard of them, just ask your hipster mate. The soundtrack obviously played a huge part in the success of the original series, so we doubt Daughter’s selection for the project was taken lightly. The band seems like a pretty good fit, though – you can listen to the group chat about their work in the video embedded below:
And if you want to hear some of its work in full, the song 'Burn It Down' can be listened to below. It’s taken from the album 'Music from Before the Storm' which will release on 1st September, and consists of all the tracks that the group wrote for the game:
Daughter won’t be the only band you’ll hear in Life Is Strange: Before the Storm – the first episode opens with Speedy Ortiz's 'No Below' – but it is occupying a similar role to Syd Matters’ Jonathan Morali on the first game, so you better grow to love them quick. From what we’ve heard so far, we reckon they’re a great fit.

Burn It Down is a great track and very "Life Is Strange" sounding.
So do we reckon its worth hanging on for a retail release with soundtrack like the first game? Love life is strange, and love the soundtrack to that game
Daughter is Awesome! (Does that mean im a hipster?) I thought the use of their song Numbers in the reveal trailer was perfect.
Nice one. Music is definitely really important for a game like this (it's what Telltale needs to utilize better imo, they perfected it in Tales from the Borderlands)
I really like the Speedy Ortiz song.
I hope it fits just as good as the original game's music does. I remember just smiling at the start of episode 2 when Max woke up to the sounds of Alt J.
Well, I take issue with being called hipster @get2sammyb . Daughter is great! Agreed. This song's very fitting for this game!
@gbanas92 You're the definition of hipster, though, Graham!
@get2sammyb Well I never!

@get2sammyb Oh no, I've been found out!!!!! How did you know I owned an Arcade Fire top hat?!?!?!!?
Love this news. I'm a big Daughter fan and a big Life is Strange fan. It's a match made in heaven.
One of my favourite bands. Now I'm sold. The first game's soundtrack was astounding. Spanish Sahara by the Foals being a particular highlight
I am a fan of these bands.
Amazing soundtrack - still not sold on the game and I would defo wait until a 'collectors' edition but they are putting on some good tracks like the original.
