Sturgill Simpson has announced an album will coincide with his new Netflix anime project Sound & Fury. A trailer for the film has been released.

Merging American rock music and Japanese animation in a revolutionary new way, “SOUND & FURY,” the film, is set entirely to music from the full album, with a different anime segment for each individual song. Produced 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.
