This article is still a work in progress. Technically all of them are, but this one might not be completely ready for public viewing.

Excursions is an upcoming C418 major, full-length album. It will be released on September 7, 2018. The album was C418's first non-Minecraft album to receive significant press coverage across sites such as Billboard, Fact, and Variety.

Official descriptions

This new project, Excursions, has been a trip down my own memory lane before Minecraft, when I aspired to create music I could hear on a commute to dance to. I’ve tried a few weird tricks for the entire record. For one, I’ve recorded the entire finished product through speakers to give it a roomy feel. Or, the mindset I’ve tried to have making each song. I started with 'Beton' as my first song, and then tried to recreate this very song over and over again, but in different locations and with wildly different mood sets. Angry, sad or happy. Turns out that creates completely different songs.

Trivia

• On 2017-06-20, over a year before Excursions, early versions of the tracks Cold Summer and TXL were released on C418's Soundcloud as a single track named six.
• The original title may refer to Excursions being the sixth major album (after 72 Minutes of Fame, Minecraft - Volume Alpha, one, Minecraft - Volume Beta, and 148). It is also possibly a continuation of the numbering scheme of certain SoundCloud-exclusive tracks, following 005 and preceding Seven People Locked In A Pitch Black Mausoleum.
