To some, the sound of plastic Lego bricks rustling as someone combs through a trash can looking for the piece they need is like nails on a board. For others, it is just as satisfying as a Mozart symphony. If you’re in the latter group, Lego has a playlist of white noise made of plastic stones you can play in the background if you are too busy building.
The brick sounds do not accompany an orchestra or any instrumentation whatsoever. All seven tracks – each 30 minutes long – contain Lego that is used and played in different ways. For example, the track ‘It All Clicks’ contains Lego elements that are connected to each other, while ‘The Waterfall’ contains thousands of bricks that are simply thrown on thousands of bricks. Lego promises that the playlist will be available for free on 15 different streaming platforms, including Apple Music (though we currently find it difficult), Google Music, and Spotify, to which you have access below, or stream directly through your browser.
The album is part of a recent push from Lego to encourage AFOLS (Adult Lego fans) to embrace their passion for a building toy that is traditionally seen as something for children. In addition to new lines that focus on architecture, model bou, and even new sets that allow you bou blomme of plastic bricks, the toy manufacturer also redesigned some examples of its packaging to appear more mature with minimal graphics and muted color themes. And let’s not pretend someone’s buying their five year old baby $ 800 Millennium Whale and expect them to compile all 7,541 pieces patiently.
