Sturgill Simpson – Sound & Fury LP Hot on Sale

Follow-Up to 2016 s Grammy-Winning A Sailor s Guide to Earth Accompanies New Anime Film of the Same Name Based on a Story by Sturgill Simpson and Made with Writer Director Jumpei Mizusaki and Character Designer Takashi Okazaki

Country singer-songwriter Sturgill Simpson follows-up his Grammy award-winning 2016 album, A Sailor s Guide to Earth and 2019 theme song for Jim Jarmusch s zombie comedy, The Dead Don t Die with Sound & Fury which accompanies the new anime film of the same name based on a story by Simpson himself and made with writer director Jumpei Mizusaki and character designer Takashi Okazaki. The 10-track effort was produced by Simpson alongside John Hill and bandmates Bobby Emmett, Chuck Bartels and Miles Miller. We went in without any preconceived notions and came out with a really sleazy, steamy rock n roll record, Simpson says. It s definitely my most psychedelic. And also my heaviest. I had this idea that it d be really cool to animate some of these songs, and we ended up with a futuristic, dystopian, post-apocalyptic, samurai film. The first taste of Sound & Fury comes in the form of the distorted and driving lead single Sing Along.  As for his inspirations for the album Simpson told Zane Lowe he ….was listening to a lot of hip-hop, and Black Sabbath, and the Cars, and old funk records and things.
