Oh, let me tell ya, honey, there’s a thing called “Crimewave,” and it ain’t no simple storm you can just walk through. It’s a song, a real catchy one too, by them Crystal Castles. And wouldn’t you know it, it’s all over the Watch Dogs 2 soundtrack, playing in that game where you run around causing all sorts of chaos in the city.
Now, I ain’t no expert on these fancy video games, but I can tell ya, this “Crimewave” song is somethin’ else. It’s got that beat that just sticks to your bones, and you can’t help but move to it, even if you’re just sittin’ in a chair. If you’ve ever played Watch Dogs 2, you’ll know what I mean. It plays on the radio in the game, and it’s like, you can’t escape it. It’s everywhere. Like a storm, like I said.
The first time I heard it, I didn’t know what to make of it. I was like, “What in the world is this?” But after listenin’ for a bit, I got hooked. That’s the magic of Crystal Castles, I reckon. They know how to make a song that sticks with ya. Kinda like how you can’t forget the smell of fresh bread comin’ out the oven, ya know?
Now, Crystal Castles—don’t let the name fool ya, they ain’t no castle builders. They’re a music group, and they’re known for mixin’ up all kinds of sounds—electronic, some hip hop, and a whole bunch of noise that just somehow works together. It’s kinda like when you’re makin’ a stew and throw in a little bit of everything, not knowin’ if it’s gonna turn out good, but it does. That’s how their music is.
And listen here, the song “Crimewave” wasn’t just made for Watch Dogs 2. Nope, this song’s been around for a while. It was even featured on the soundtrack for that show, Gossip Girl. I don’t know much about no Gossip Girl, but I heard it was big with them city folk. The song was on the “OMFGG – Original Music Featured on Gossip Girl No. 1” album. That’s a mouthful, ain’t it?
So, if you’re sittin’ there wonderin’ if “Crimewave” is worth a listen, well, I say give it a try. It might be just the kind of beat you need to get through your day. Even if you ain’t playin’ Watch Dogs 2, you can listen to the song on your phone or computer. I hear it on the radio sometimes, too, if you got the right station tuned in.
But it ain’t just the song that’s the star. The whole Watch Dogs 2 soundtrack is full of them electric vibes and cool beats. The man who put it all together, Hudson Mohawke, sure knows how to make the music match the chaos in the game. Every song feels like it’s pushin’ you to do something big, like hack into everything in sight or race through the streets. It’s got that energy, that spark, like when you first find out your neighbor’s got a new pig in their pen and you just gotta go take a look.
I reckon that’s what makes the Watch Dogs 2 soundtrack so good—it’s got that blend of energy and that feelin’ like you’re part of somethin’ bigger, something wild. It’s like, you’re not just sittin’ there listenin’ to music, you’re part of the action. And “Crimewave” really brings that home. It’s got the right mix of darkness and excitement, like you’re on the edge of somethin’ big, just waitin’ to dive in.
So, if you’re into video games and you like a good tune, or even if you just want to hear somethin’ new, don’t miss out on that “Crimewave” song. And while you’re at it, give the whole Watch Dogs 2 soundtrack a listen. It’s a wild ride, and I bet you’ll find somethin’ in there you like. Who knows, you might even get caught up in the whole mess, just like I did.
