Simultaneous With The Release of His Much-Anticipated New Album of The Same Name

• Grammy Award winning recording artist Sturgill Simpson is merging American rock music and Japanese animation in a revolutionary new way in SOUND & FURY, an anime film that is set to stream globally on Netflix this fall. The film is set entirely to music from Simpson’s forthcoming album, also called “SOUND & FURY,” which will be released simultaneously through Elektra Records. The film features a different anime segment for each individual song.
• The announcement was made this evening by Sturgill Simpson at San Diego Comic-con on a panel with several of the filmmakers.
• Produced by and based on a story by Simpson entitled “Sound & Fury,” the film was written and directed by Jumpei Mizusaki, founder of renowned CG animation studio Kamikaze Douga and director for the animated film Batman Ninja.
• Takashi Okazaki, creator of Japanese manga series Afro Samurai, served as the film’s character designer.
• Additional directors include Masaru Matsumoto of Grayscale Arts (Starship Troopers: Traitors of Mars), Michael Arias (The Animatrix), Henry Thurlow and Arthell Isom of D’Art Shtajio, and Koji Morimoto (Akira). Shunsuke Ochiai is co-executive producer.
• “SOUND & FURY,” the album, was produced by Simpson and marks his first full-length release since 2016’s acclaimed “A Sailor’s Guide To Earth,” which won “Best Country Album” and was nominated for “Album of the Year” at the 59th GRAMMY Awards.

What a stupid title. It screams “we know Shakespeare so we’re geniuses!”

Is it? Maybe it just sounds cool and can work for what they want for this?

Not a fan of country music, but I like Sturgill Simpson. A Sailor's Guide to Earth was nothing short of amazing! I haven't listened to his new album yet, but I'll probably give this a watch once I do.

Is that considered "Country Music?"

[Mr. Chaverria]

Hrmm.... I have no like or dislike for these films that play around w/ the medium to be something other than the norm.

Solid music. And love the visuals in here. I'll probably not watch it again but I did love the section w/ the Samurai going wild w/ the car. Visually and auditorily, I enjoyed that one the most. Overall, solid package w/ great music. Had a lot of fun w/ it.

Never heard of Simpson but seems like he's a guy I should check out based on what else I just just heard of his work.
