I wasn’t expecting it to slap, but it does
Sometimes when I’m reading a book or doing the dishes, I need a bit of ambience to carry me through. Lo-fi music often does the trick, so when I spotted that Riot Games Music had released aLeague Of Legendsthemed lo-fi compilation, I hesitantly dipped my ear in. And I didn’t recoil! In fact, I added it to my saved albums. Now that’s a seal of approval.

This album’s also safe to stream and free to download. So anyone can use this in their videos and live streams as peaceful backing music without fear of a copyright strike. Now, I personally won’t be doing either of these things, but it’s a nice touch all the same.
Most of all, though, I’m surprised at how good this album is. I expected some edgy undertones, or classic video game cheese. Maybe an awkward remix of a World Championship theme, or voice samples from characters shouting their ultimate abilities. But no, it’s far removed from all of that. So much so, that if you went into this album blind, you wouldn’t know this was affiliated with Riot Games, or games at all.

I like the track Golden too. Again, it starts off with another lo-fi favourite which is the sound of a train pulling into a station and the faint chatter of the waiting crowds. The piano is in full twinkle mode here too, which gets me every time.

And just to round things off nicely, I’d say Lights Out is worth a listen. As the name suggests, this is perfect pre-snooze material.
You can download the full album over onRiot’s site.
