"Utilizing bombastic drum loops, fuzzed out bass guitar, and a variety of pianos and synthesizers, the Los Angeles duo Batphone has put a new spin on an old favorite. Spanning the entire Zelda catalog, this 5 song EP takes the video game’s past and present and brings it into the future. This release is creative and ambitious, while still maintaining the underlying themes that gamers have been listening to for years."
