Editor's note

Laura Shigihara's quiet songs and video game roots

A composer and songwriter whose work moves from playful game themes to personal folk reflections.

For the full picture, listen to 'Zombies On Your Lawn' and then something like 'Traces'. The shift tells you most of what you need to know.

She wrote 'Zombies On Your Lawn' for Plants vs. Zombies in 2007, a song that became a genuine player favorite for its funny, catchy defense of a garden. That early connection through video game music opened a path to more introspective work like 'Call me Home' and 'Traces'. Her 2015 public statement about harassment gave her quieter songs a different kind of weight.

The attention started with video game music, specifically that Plants vs. Zombies track. She put out a self-titled album in 2010 and later contributed to the To the Moon soundtrack. By 2016's A Place in the West, her own recordings were leaning into folk and acoustic sounds.

Archive material and source history

Laura Shigihara first gained attention through video game music, most notably with 'Zombies On Your Lawn' from Plants vs. Zombies in 2007. That song's simple, catchy melody and lighthearted lyrics about defending a garden from the undead connected with players in a way that felt both funny and genuine.

Her work extends beyond that early hit. She contributed to the soundtrack for To the Moon in 2011, and her own songs like 'Call me Home' and 'Don't Forget' often carry a quiet, introspective quality. She released albums including a self-titled debut in 2010 and A Place in the West in 2016, which leaned into folk and acoustic sounds.

In 2015, she spoke publicly about experiencing sexual harassment and assault, an act that resonated with many. She continues to write and release music, with songs like 'Traces' and 'Wish My Life Away' appearing in her catalog.
