Unoriginal Soundtracks #49: Left 4 Dead 2

Every other Wednesday, I share a playlist of songs tangentially related to a single game or series. Songs about alien sex for Mass Effect, world leaders for Civilization, and so on. Searching for relevant terms on Spotify is a great way to discover new music and uncover hidden gems. Make requests to @USPodcast on Twitter.

Left 4 Dead 2 tightened the formula Left 4 Dead concocted: intense co-operative adventuring with much more character and atmosphere than one would expect from a multiplayer-only shooter. That character makes for an episode of Liverpudlian rock, St Louisan jazz, New York mariachi, and more.
