Chappell Roan is a RuneScape sicko who absolutely loves the ‘medieval synth sh*t’ of its soundtrack

As a 32-year-old straight man whose musical tastes mostly orbit Zupfgeigenhansel, I am incredibly well-suited to discuss the music of Chappell Roan. “Good Luck Babe”, “Hot To Go”. All the hits! I absolutely know all of them and could easily name more, if I wanted to.

But why is she gracing the pages of PC Gamer? Because it turns out she’s a videogame OST connoisseur. Specifically, there’s a space in her heart for the beeps and boops of the Old School RuneScape soundtrack. In a chat with Hemlocke Springs in Nylon, Roan paid Springs’ debut album, the apple tree under the sea, the highest compliment: she said it put her in mind of RuneScape’s music.
