Not sure how he doesn’t have a thread, but he does now.

Super excited for Sound & Fury next Friday. Concept album with accompanying anime film on Netflix. He didn’t want to do a single but acquiesced.

I was kind of in a weird spot when we made that record. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do this anymore because a lot of the business sides of things, and like some heartbreak and betrayal, and just learning things that you already know. Remind yourself that, you know — it is a dirty toxic industry. And I wanted to express a lot of that. And I was listening to a lot of hip-hop, and Black Sabbath, and the Cars, and old funk records and things. And I think… We were in Detroit while we were making the record, and I was sort of writing it in real time and listening to a lot of Eminem. And I was just like, man, this guy gets to talk mad shit. How come we can’t do that? So I just sat down and wrote a bunch of mad shit-talking songs about how fucking awesome we are. And then we recorded it. And then I said, man, this isn’t weird enough. I should probably go to Japan and like get the five most legendary animation directors in history together and get them all drunk and put them to competition to see who can outdo one another and we’ll just animate the whole fucking album. And then that happens and I got the label to pay for it, and then now they want to put a single out. Even though I made a cohesive concept record and a film, we’re putting a song and a cartoon out as a video, which I didn’t want to make. And now I’m talking to Zane Lowe about it. What’s up dog?

That song was really cool - cheers.

Sound & Fury is out today! I'm a couple songs in and so far it's exactly what he promised.

Good for Sturgill, following his muse. His stuff after metamodern sounds just hasn't really done it for me. Saw him play on that tour upstairs at a venue that's since been torn down and felt like I was witnessing something special.

This album is incredible. I listened to it four times today and every time it opened up new doors. It’s no secret he’s a killer guitar player, and its awesome hearing him drenched in fuzz just shredding on some of these songs. It’s like ZZ Top on LSD. Phenomenal record.
