Hollow Knight meets deep house in “City of Tears”! The Icarus Kid’s remix features punchy dance beats, emotional synths, twinkling arpeggios, and cinematic strings.

The Icarus Kid is Dan Crowdus, a pianist and producer with a passion for videogame music. In “City of Tears” he creates a world of energetic dance soundscapes, thrilling buildups, and breathtaking breakdowns. The theme originates from independent studio Team Cherry’s hit platformer Hollow Knight, which quickly established itself as a modern classic of the Metroidvania genre. The soundtrack was composed by Christopher Larkin.

“City of Tears” is out now on all online stores and streaming platforms! Support The Icarus Kid and GameChops by streaming, saving, and adding the track to your playlists.
