A true indie surprise, Celeste has become a welcome staple to just about everyone’s Switch library. Thanks to its execution and themes, it’s checked off various qualities that gamers hold dear. Those who have a soft spot for soulful music soon discovered Lena Raine’s work and became smitten with Celeste’s soundtrack.
The music has been available on various platforms and media: Spotify, digital tracks, vinyl, and cassette. And let’s not forget B-Sides, adding even more music to relax to.
Throughout the last year we’ve seen Celeste’s music for sale in various forms, with limited edition/exclusive versions selling out fast. Lena Raine keeps bandcamp pages for the games and has added some new items for sale.
Psst…do you have the B-Sides Cassette? Or were just holding out on the OST until it was on your favorite 80's format?
Well, you can now pre-order the Celeste OST on cassette! This includes a digital copy as well~https://t.co/KTyf1Y9S5f

Last year we saw B-Sides get a cassette release, but not one that included the main soundtrack. Well, that changes now! For $12 you can pre-order Celeste Original Soundtrack on cassette that “[i]ncludes unlimited streaming of Celeste Original Soundtrack via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.” Want to double down on cassettes? The B-sides cassette is currently available, too.
In addition to that, if you missed the vinyl release, the limited edition Double Vinyl (clear only) is up for pre-order too and will be shipping out around March 15th. And, as always, digital versions of the soundtracks are available for purchase.
There’s no CD version available at the moment, but it sounds like it might be a possibility for the future.
A couple notes:
– We're aiming for format parity across the two albums, so 🤔 more announcements soon
– Everyone asking for CDs is 100% heard, and there's nothing to announce yet, but givin it a big think
– Yes I will release the music for the upcoming Chapter 9 in some fashion— Lena Raine (@kuraine) February 12, 2019
For now, we’ll have to wait and see — and conquer one level at a time as we climb this mountain.
