148 is C418's most recent major, full-length album and the first to be the same style throughout. It features a variety of remixes, some of which had previously appeared on other artists' albums, and several original tracks featuring vocals. It is also the album that was in development for the longest.

Official descriptions

148 is a highly energetic and loud mouthed release full of house and drum&bass tunes. There's a house ballad, there's collaboration with cool artists and there's also some surprises, like Minecraft remixes I haven't shown anywhere else but at live shows.

I've been working on this thing for over five years. At least a few songs I've worked on from the beginning until the last day, even. I wish I would have saved every single version of all of these songs so I could see how they changed, but before 2012 I really didn't understand what backing up really meant, haha. This album is also a super interesting evolution of my own sound. When I started making it, I was all into all-analog. When I finished making it, I wasn't really concerned about using digital means to reach the same goal anymore. When I started making this, I was a scared composer, fresh off of Minecraft fame. Unsure what the future would bring me. And when I finished making it, I became a jaded composer, hypercritical of every single piece I ever created, worried that my old work shows that I'm not good enough.

That really doesn't matter anymore though, because I think I'm happy with this album.

It just has been plaguing me for too long. I think that you can't be happy with anything if you've stared at it too close for too long. Which is why I decided to stealth release it without any announcement. I've had incredibly unproductive years recently, and a lot of it had to do with being burnt out and partly being somewhat depressed. This album didn't really help my psyche either. By releasing this, right now, I hope I can get to a clean slate and start beginning work on new stuff. And, of course, maybe it stops making everyone worried that I stopped composing altogether.

So, this is it! 148 has been started on a gigantic computer system somewhere in East Germany in 2011 and finished on a tiny laptop in Toronto, 2015.

I really hope you like it! And if you don't, I'm not dead yet. I'll have more music. So much more.

Album trivia

• First publicly mentioned on 2012-01-26:

Every year I want to release a new original album, and this year I already started planning. I at least know the name and the cover, and the thematics. WHICH I WILL KEEP SECRET UNTIL I START WORKING ON SOME MUSIC.

—C418, blog post

• The second longest album after Minecraft - Volume Beta. If Septic Shock to Biome Party is considered one song given how each track fades into the next, it also contains the longest song (with second place being Mixes).
