"Foggy Wallow" gets unexpectedly moody though. Like the forest remembering something sad. The whole score floats between cozy and wistful without ever feeling like background noise, which for a casual Wii/DS sim game is honestly impressive.
If you ever need music for existing peacefully, this is it.
