The album marks Simpson’s first new music since 2016’s A Sailor’s Guide To Earth, which won the Grammy Award for Best Country Album along with a nomination for Album of the Year. Produced by Simpson, Sound & Fury and its accompanying anime film are expected to arrive this fall. According to Rolling Stone, “the film is set entirely to music from the full album, with a different anime segment for each song.”
Simpson shared his thoughts on his forthcoming album via press release. He explained,
We went in without any preconceived notions and came out with a really sleazy, steamy rock n roll record. 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.
Simpson added,
