For any of you who have spent too much of your childhood furiously tapping Triangle, X, O, Square – You’ll no doubt have a bit of a soft spot for the nostalgia on some of these video game soundtracks. French duo Superparka share this passion and it’s been a huge influence on their sound for their upcoming album Quatro, which they announce today.

Alongside the announcement, they’ve shared a new single “Razzz”. They’re a duo with a unique sound that draws on Hop Hop, Indie, Lo-fI and everything in between.. Including some of these retro bangers below. Speaking on their new single, Superparka explain it as a “light-hearted song about formative youth travels over a Weezer x Childish Gambino type beat.”
“Razzz” is available everywhere now and check out their favourite video game soundtracks below
