Anamanaguchi, the band behind Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game’s soundtrack, is back with their second full length album. Anamanaguchi is a chiptune indie rock or ‘chip-punk’ band from New York City that “makes loud, fast music with a NES from 1985.” The band has four members: lead songwriter Peter Berkman, bassist James DeVito, guitarist Ary Warnaar and drummer Luke Silas.
Like other chiptune artists, Anamanaguchi creates music using video game hardware from the mid-to-late 1980s: namely an NES and a Game Boy. Berkman has stated that their music isn’t just based around video game music and that much of it is inspired by “[s]imple pop stuff, like Weezer and the Beach Boys.
