I hadn’t heard anything about a new C418 (the incredible German musician who created the Minecraft OST) album since the release of the 0x10c (Notch’s abandoned project after Minecraft)’s soundtrack on Daniel’s bandcamp, until I saw something suspicious on Amazon Music under his artist file…

What’s that on the right?

That’s right. C418 has a new album called 148.

It’s due to release December 18, 2015, so be sure to mark your calendars. Lots of songs have a more upbeat tempo and a party-ish feel. It includes some songs with other artists such as Disasterpeace (a famed chiptune-artist), Baiyon (a Japanese visual+music artist), Big Giant Circle (another chiptune/electronic music artist who has worked with C418 before), and Laura Shigihara (a videogame music composer who also worked on Minecraft and also has worked with C418 before).

You can hear 30-second previews of the songs here.
