The world of Picnic Province just got a lot more vibrant. Following the massive success of the 2021 indie hit Chicory: A Colorful Tale, game music community Resonant Union has teamed up with award-winning composer Lena Raine (Celeste, Minecraft) to release a massive new arrangement album: Chicory: A Musical Tale.
Released on March 7, 2026, this four-disc collection is more than just a remix project—it’s a two-and-a-half-hour seasonal journey that revisits the emotional heart of the game through fresh ears.
A Journey Through the Seasons
Produced by Philip Saguil, the album is structured around the changing seasons of Picnic Province. Each of the 32 brand-new arrangements was crafted with a specific time of year in mind, inviting listeners to “paint the world with sound” all over again.
“After pitching the project to Lena a year ago, we started to explore Picnic Province after the events of the game,” says producer Philip Saguil. “I asked each arranger to write as if creating a tone painting with sound.”
The project features a staggering lineup of guest talent, including:
bermei.inazawa (Lies of P, DJMAX)
Kohta Takahashi (Ridge Racer, Tekken)
Emi Evans (NieR, Dark Souls)
What’s Inside the Box (and the Digital Stream)?
The album spans a massive variety of genres, reflecting the eclectic nature of the original score. From the “cyber mix” of Spoons Island to the sweeping “Self-Portrait Symphony” of More Than Myself, there is something for every mood.
Why This Matters for BizNooz Readers
For the business-minded in the gaming and music industries, this release highlights the growing power of community-led arrangement albums and the enduring “long tail” of indie game IPs. By collaborating directly with the original composer and developer (Wishes Unlimited), Resonant Union has turned a fan-driven concept into a professional, commercial-grade product that keeps the Chicory brand relevant five years after its initial launch.

Chicory: A Musical Tale is available now for $20.00 USD on Bandcamp and other major digital platforms. If you missed the pre-order window, don’t worry—the full experience is ready for your ears today.
Whether you’re a fan of Lena Raine’s atmospheric synth-work or just looking for a cosy, emotional soundtrack to get you through the work week, this album is a masterclass in how to honour a game’s legacy.
