FIFA09 Will Get a Really Great Review in Pitchfork

Hipster

Somebody over at EA Sports reads BrooklynVegan something fierce and I ain't mad at that. The tracklisting for FIFA09 was released today and I could have sworn I was looking at a list of bookings for the Mojave stage at Coachella festival. It's almost as if the target demo for this game is people who have ever uttered the phrase "what time does Daft Punk go on?".



So who's on it? Aussie dance-rockers (and TOR favorites) Cut Copy, CSS, Foals, Chromeo and groove-heavy, electronic hippies MGMT. There's also remix's from Hot Chip, Soulwax and Boyznoise. You can see the entire list at EA.com if you need further confirmation that this game will be huge in Williamsburg, Fishtown, Silverlake and Wicker Park.

FIFA always brings the jams, I have at least 10 albums from artists that I heard for the first time in a FIFA game.

MGMT, I am so hyped right now.

Dude, I'm so hip I send my iPod to EA studios every summer so they can figure out what to put on the soundtrack. Sarcasm intended.

Once fans are tired of the "Seven Nation Army" chants at matches, that Cut Copy tune could be a nice replacement.

for god's sake, is it too much to ask for ONE hardcore song on this soundtrack? Bad Brains (U.S) are DC fans. The Gallows(U.K) are Watford supporters. Hell, Bring Me The Horizon (U.K) has a new song titled "Football Season's Over".

game soundtracks can kill tracks via over-repetition.
