Alright I’m not gonna get poetic about Sturgill Simpson sound and fury, but the thing is, this country artist fell in love with anime, then went to Netflix and thought, “How about we produce a 40-minute episodic anime movie that uses my latest album as the soundtrack. ” What came out of the collab is a cypberpunk/country mashup that’s a delight to watch and listen to, and I haven’t seen enough people talking about it. Japanese director Junpei Mizusaki helmed the project, and everything about it is weird, wonderful, and works alongside Simpson’s outlaw country roots that sprouted electronic flowers. So while this single is available to stream, the whole thing is on Netflix, and it’s well worth your time. Also, if you want to read me getting poetic about it, I got you covered.
