Keep reading to learn more about the album, where you can get it, and above all, where you can buy it on vinyl.
Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake Season 1 Soundtrack Review: Why Fans Need This Album
The Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake Season 1 soundtrack is an easy album to love, especially if you love animated television soundtrack music. That’s because it offers 16 tracks of scoring and songs, plus a multiverse atmosphere, in a 33-minute package.
Released by WaterTower Music on September 28, 2026, the album basically captures the Adventure Time sequel’s weird, heartfelt, and imaginative world without feeling random. It also seamlessly jumps between playful chaos and real emotion within seconds.
As a result, you have an album that works well in the show and as a standalone listen.
Why the Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake Soundtrack Feels Fresh
Fionna and Cake had a tricky start. That’s because it had to remain connected to the bigger Adventure Time world, while carving out its own identity. As a result, it’s a little moodier, weirder, and more grown-up.
Luckily, the soundtrack understood the assignment as well, giving us something that sounds similar to the original show, without recycling it. In other words, it turned that familiar Adventure Time energy into something that fits its more emotional, dimension-hopping story.
Then there’s how the album mixes the score tracks with the vocal tracks without ever feeling messy. For instance, the instrumentals, such as “Fionna and Cake Fight Back,” “Prismo the Wishmaker,” and “Jerryworld”, establish the soundtrack’s overall vibes. Then, the songs, such as “Not Myself,” “Part of the Madness,” and “Everything in You”, chime in to give it personality.
As a result, you get an album that never feels like it was just ripped from the show. In other words, it has a rhythm of its own, and that’s always a huge plus when it comes to animation soundtracks.
Amanda Jones Gives the Season 1 Soundtrack Its Identity
And it’s all thanks to Amada Jones. That’s because her music never feels like throwaways, despite being as compact as it is. Even the shorter tracks leave lasting impressions, whether they leaned into action, mystery, or something more emotional.
There’s also a lot of flexibility in the score, which is perfect for animation in general, where the tone can change fast. As a result, the music can be funny and chaotic for one minute, and strange, lonely, or surprisingly tender the next.
Sure, there are a few strange cuts here and there that require some understanding of the show’s basic premise and characters. However, they are rare enough to go unnoticed in most playthroughs. Therefore, the album’s a worthy contender for any music collection, regardless of whether you have seen the series or not.
The Adventure Time: Fiona and Cake Season 1 Soundtrack Is Now on Vinyl and CD
Furthermore, that music collection doesn’t need to be digital either. That’s because WaterTower is releasing the album on CD and vinyl this weekend, on May 30, through iam8bit Music.
It’s going to be packaged as a two-disc set with Season 2, but it’s the full album, unmodified. It’ll also support new original artwork from the series’ storyboard artist, Maya Peterson, making it the perfect collector’s item.
