Here is an album featuring the background music from Steven Universe - No singing, no main themes, just cool electro funk chiptune goodness (SLYT)

A better link might be https://soundcloud.com/aivisura/sets/steven-universe as that has individual tracks with their creators credited. And the creator is mostly Aivi and Surasshu. Who are awesome and should get more credit.

Also, Steven Universe is coming back with a bunch of episodes next month ahead of the upcoming Summer Of Steven.

Before Steven Universe I Kickstarted a game called Cryamore. The game may or may not ever come out, but if it does it'll have awesome music, because Aivi and Surasshu were brought on to do it. After watching Steven and being impressed by the music I realized the same couple did Cryamore's music, making me way more excited at the prospect of the game actually coming out.

I'll be grumpy and old school and say that I still prefer the Ren and Stimpy production music. Not by much though. And I wouldn't change a thing about Steven Universe.

Ohhhhh thankyou! I spend much of the interstitial time in SU and Adventure Time going starry-eyed and greedily whispering SOUNDTRAAAAACK to myself, and instrumental tracks can be hard to come by, so this is much appreciated. (In case anyone is looking for the Adventure Time stuff, I believe what you're looking for is Casey James and the Staypuft Kid.)

It took me a while to realize that the artist doing the SU music was Surasshu, whose song we'd used in an episode of my own show, back when Surasshu was producing and we were using open-source tracks from the sadly now-defunct 8BitCollective.

I'm not gonna lie, I am more excited about this than the next Marvel movie and probably the next Star Wars movie.

There are times when I feel shame about my obsession with a kids's show about gay space ladies who are also rocks but I figure it's just that my ten-year-old self never got to have anything this cool.

I do enjoy the chiptune-y music a lot, and in general how much Steven is identified with old video games, because his entire life is basically a video game.

I'll happily be the guy today who says these aren't chiptunes, although they are really nice songs.

I can totally rave to this.
