Plants Vs. Zombies: Bad Zombies 7"

Plants vs. Zombies, with its easy-to-understand gameplay and whimsically morbid aesthetic, has cemented itself as a cultural icon.

Its popularity, naturally, has led to a fair share of memes, riffs, salutes, and celebrations, including a now-iconic musical motif from one of today’s premier popstars. Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy” features a groovy baseline that plays off the main theme from Plants vs. Zombies; a fitting match, given the track’s eerie playfulness, a spirit well alive in PvZ. 

Here at iam8bit, we love a great tribute. Even more, we love a tribute-tag-back, where the respect for great artists flows in a fully-formed circle. It makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside. So, when we teamed up with the incredible folks at PopCap Games and EA Games for our Plants vs. Zombies 2xLP, a brainy idea emerged: Why not release a new single that nods to Billie’s iconic song?

This is the Plants vs. Zombies: Bad Zombies 7”. It features a brand-new, never-before-heard single performed by The String Revolution featuring Tina Guo, aptly titled “Bad Zombies.” You’ve got to hear it. 

For something so amazing, we had to go all out. That’s why it comes pressed on Eco-Purple vinyl and features a special zoetrope center label that all but comes alive while it spins. That eco-friendly vinyl is all recycled, so it’s good for the plants. It also means that there will be some very groovy variation for every disc; no two colors will be completely the same. 

For the album art, we worked with Sean Keeton to pay homage to the cover of Billie’s “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” And to ensure it’s got that signature PvZ flare, it even glows in the dark! 

Folks, this one’s special. Don’t miss it.
