Sturgill Simpson "A Good Look" (Official Video) 

"I know we're currently locked in a deadly high-stakes japanese cyberpunk mad max battle, but I think it'd be an awesome teambuilding exercise for all of us if we stopped for a bit and did a nifty choreographed set."

After many plays of it. I realised that she kills the two boss', frees the people, then they have a dance party. The boss' dancing etc is a bonus.

This whole album says "fuck convention" and mashes alt country, rock, funk, and electronic together and smothers it in a spicy Asian sauce and I absolutely love it.

This is honestly the happiest music video ever. The song, the dancing, everything. Except, you know, the post apocalyptic setting and murder and stuff. But even the bad guys are happy! How can you watch this and not get pumped up?

I love how when they're holding up the panels that are recapping the story so far, they start carelessly dropping them on the ground as if to say "Yeah the story isn't important right now, just enjoy the music and we'll get back to that later"

I'm glad everything made sense. I'm tired of watching youtube videos and being confused.

the fact that the message of the song is "focus on the music before the flashy music video" and he goes and makes it into a BANGER song and an equally BANGER video basically having his cake and eating it too is so wonderful to me. basically a giant "this is how you make a hit you idiots"

Can we all just agree that this song has an absolutely INCREDIBLE Bass line

This appeared to me as an Ad. The only Ad I haven't skipped. What on God's Green Earth is this...?

this would feel right at home in an episode of love, death, and robots

Borderlands 4 is coming along nicely I see.

Just going to say the world needs more of this. The whole film was an epic ride. Thanks.

For those that didn't catch it or take time to freeze frame the back of her black jacket, it has the following letters P E W S G G L printed on it which stand for the seven deadly sins Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust.

bowling screens when you get a strike be like:

This album changed my life. No bs. From start to finish, years later, this is my go to. And I'm definitely not country as you hear with my music. Love this always. Thanks Sturgill

"I got a SOCOM Scout with 20 extra mags." 420 rounds of ammo. Sturgill Simpson is a lyrical genius.

This is the Mad Max movie i never asked for but always needed.

Am I the only one slowly falling in love with the samurai lady's self-satisfied facial expressions?

If anyone watching this hasn't seen the full show.. You're missing out. Multiple art styles and music genres and the whole thing is amazing.

I wish there was more to her story, I'm infatuated with it

For my wedding, my wife and I tried to learn the dance. We only got certain moves down but the best part is that no one at our wedding had any idea what the hell we were doing. Worth it.

I just watched A Samurai Wifu, Half naked Women, Jiggalos & Muscle Women dancing. I regret nothing.

1:51 Me showing up to work two hours late everyday knowing they don’t have enough employees to afford to fire me

I remember getting so hyped for this album, still probably one of my favorites still to this day

The dance scene in this is a reference to a classic Japanese samurai movie that has the same scene in it. He asked if the animation studio could put it in and this is what they did. A nod to Japanese classics that only fans would get. Hats off to you good sir.

Da fuq did I just watch? Four times

I could literally watch this over and over and over again it's so mesmerizing 😍

I just saw the entire story linked with the album and this is great! Thank you so much for composing this!

The craziest thing is that this guy started off as a country artist. And once he started getting mainstream, he saw the fakeness of the entire current country scene and turned his back, went off, and made this. Respect sturgil

I am obsessed with this album. The whole thing is a goddamn masterpiece.

This song is nuts. Cant stop coming back to it

Obsessed with this song. Listen to it when ever I drive into the city!

Have you ever wondered what would happen if a respected alt-country star went into surgery and, in its aftermath, refused pain killing narcotics and instead just took a bunch of weed? Imagine then, in his fugue state, he decides to take a departure from country and produce a crazy good synth rock album. Now imagine he decides to have the entire album animated, writes a vague anime screenplay, goes to Japan, and has some of the top anime artists compete to see who could be the nuttiest in producing his vision. He then puts it all together in a 45 min montage that can only be described the three way love child of Heavy Metal the movie, Akira, and The Wall. I actually thought this level of unrestrained creative expression from a popular artists had died sometime in the 1980s. Maybe it did but, if so, Sturgill Simpson resurrected it here.

...so I said, "that's no samurai, that's my wife!"

drummer is killing it!!!!

what an amazing job ! the song as much as the video, very very good work !

I see the Samurai has mastered the art of defeating their opponents through dance montages.

"These edibles ain't shit!" *two weeks later*

Just found this, bought the vinyl. amazing journey through genres and time, its stuck in my brain masterpiece

lore: There was a peaceful and busy town in which three heroes lived and worked. One of the three heroes was away from the town while the other two were in the process of crafting two katana swords, when two collaborating villains, Slick and Slim (one obviously representing greed, capitalism and disregard for life and the other representing consumption, addiction and toxicity) entered the village and overpowered and killed the two heroes that were there. When the third hero returns, he finds his friends dead, the village burning and his wife and daughter gone. He finishes crafting the two katana swords and imbues them with the essence of his two warrior friends by using their blood to harden the steel. He then goes on a journey to revenge his friends and save his wife and daughter. He suits up his samurai armor and tracks down Slick and Slim in his hellcat muscle car. I think the fate of his wife isn't revealed, but he manages to slay all of Slick and Slim's minions and defeat them using the katanas which seem to generate a protective field around him - but Slick and Slim use his daughter as hostage to force him to surrender and he is killed. In that moment the spirits of the other two heroes manifest and distract/restrain Slick and Slim, so that the daughter can get away with her father's corpse. Years pass during which at some point nuclear war devastates the world (likely because Slick and Slim / greed and consumption are now ruling the world), which seems to be at least on one side fought mainly by advanced artificial intelligence / machines - though I don't think this implies a robot-uprising, but just modern AI & robot weaponry that are used by humans to fight their war. After the nuclear war, in the post-apocalyptic world where capitalism led full circle back to pretty direct slavery, the samurai's daughter has now suited up her father's armor and is fighting Slick and Slim to avenge him. She rides her father's hellcat, which however now was modified to contain two AI controlled war robots - each of them wielding one of the two katanas (though one seems to have been modded into a dual-bladed sword) - plus a motorcycle. After taking down some of the machines by which the remaining human slaves are coerced into labor (not via direct force, but by capitalism & exploiting their addiction to goods Slick and Slim control), she directly attacks Slick and Slim (the latter one now being very obese) using first the hellcat and the two katanas directly, but then splitting the hellcat up into the two war robots and a motorcycle. The robots - which seem to contain/represent the spirits of the two hero friends of her father - each attack the villain who killed the respective hero (they exchange their swords during the attack, which I'm not sure why they are doing this, but it could be related to the fact that the protagonist still is able to generate a protective force field while the swords are with the robots - so maybe the ability to create a shield has been extracted somehow from one of the swords). However, Slick and Slim seem to be able to defeat both robots and the protagonist, who made it to Slim, fails to kill him because he is being protected by slaves who throw themselves in front of him. As she seems to fall and is about to be killed, we see that the first, golden robot that was presumably defeated is still active and managed to use his sword to create a protective shield around the other silver robot who now directly attacks and kills Slick. A moment later the golden robot made it to Slim and kills him too. The katanas are returned to the protagonist who pierces the villains' heads with them and celebrates together with the liberated slaves (if anyone has an idea what the green glowing boxes that turn on across the city mean, please tell me). The other clips which do not directly add to the main story seem to still loosely fit into this world during the time period between the father's death and when his daughter picks up the fight after the nuclear war. I recapped the obvious - it may still be helpful for those who were too high and got lost in the details :) cheers

Glad they decided to upload this one, hopefully it'll get people to watch the movie. "got a socom scout with 20 extra mags and a couple severed heads in my bug out bag."

Ya'll remember those "your argument is invalid" memes? That's this whole video.

At first I didn’t like, now after watching it five time I love the style of art and animation they used and I can’t get some of the lyrics out of my head . You win this round, let’s see if you can do it again.

MANY of your songs are ingenious... but this one…this one right here my good sir is close to the top of the list for me. Many thanks!

This is what goes through most chaos Marine's heads.

Context for Heaven's leader (the purple gas, fat guy): The purple gas is severely toxic (and flammable! Comes up later...) when inhaled, kills multiple people, and he continuously breathes it through the tubes going to his nose. in S&F, the heroine's father forges both katanas in the blood of the two who faced off against both main bad guys, and dons samurai armor to get revenge for them as well as get his daughter. Coincidentally, drives the same car, probably pre-modification. But before he kills them, they bring her out and use her as a hostage to kill him. Just when they're about to kill her as well, the spirits of the two friends seemingly hold the bad guys back while the daughter escapes. All this to explain why he gets so excited and points joyfully at her, he remembers when he last had a challenge and fun. Pertains to his figurehead's name of 'Heaven', and the irony associated with it. Personal opinion: The Heaven and Business figureheads are ironies/the worst possible permutations of what would theoretically be 'true' for the word. Business brutally tosses any and all armaments it has, enjoying the money and craze of it all and glorifying war industry. Hell, the music video's opening he has the receipt maker on his belt, and it charges money for each time he shoots somebody, and during this video his handcranking the receipt maker is him charging for each 'missile' fired. Heaven is debauchery, drug-induced haze and gluttony. The pictured rolls of fat isn't what he used to be, he used to be as thin as Business' leader in the opening.

Annnnnnnd... that's it. That's my limit. That's enough internet for today. I'm done. *Hits replay*

this randomly popped up in my feed. i dig it, first exposure and i'm impressed.

Ah yes her car turns into two TWO MECHS AND HELP HER IN BATTLE THIS IS THE B E S T

Sturgillsimpson: The story doesn't matter, just boogie... Me (*Happily Dancing *) : you win this round Stirgillsimpson...

I love the Arms Dealer’s float so much! All the flags from different countries showing he sells to everyone and doesn’t care about anything but his profits.

What the Hell? Catchy tune. The portamemto synth slides are pretty cool. Really detuned oscillators gave it a gritty sound when the notes were held.

The people of Tsushima Island after defeating the Mongols.

Parents: is this porn? Me: no Parents: are you sure? Me: no...

This is so awesome great job on the animation and the music you are so awesome.

Love this guys music! Really diggin the Netflix presentation!

I’ve watched this an unhealthy amount of times for the dance alone.

I GOT A SOCOM SCOUT WITH TWENTY EXTRA MAGS AND A COUPLE SEVERED HEADS IN MY BUG OUT BAG God damn those might just be the greatest lyrics I've ever heard.

Man, love the groove that the bass is laying down!

this was my favorite song / scene in the movie

Synth-pop country isnt something I knew I wanted or needed.

That songs a masterpiece. It even made me dance. And I can't dance. The baselines like a train that never stops.

It took a little while for this to grow on me, mainly I think because it's just such a big departure from the Sturgill I was first introduced to and familiar with, but I knew I must be coming around when I was still humming it days later after just one listen

I just watched the full length film on Netflix. I love art music and anime so this was interesting. Didn't know what to think at first but wow is this a creative production. This being my absolute favorite scene. I love this tune and absolutely adore the main character. She is super cute. Never been to a cosplay but if I did i would have to go in a replica outfit from this character. ✌👏👏👏👍👍👍👍

Best song on "Sound and Fury"...and that's saying something because the entire record is outstanding

This video randomly advertised between a couple of videos I was watching. Literally the ONLY time I ever didn’t skip ad 5 seconds in. Not only that, but I had to google what the hell i just saw. This is gold

That's so good, finally RU-vid recommend new something good. I need more :D

Genuinely encapsulating my entire vibe

Dear Sturgill Simpson: We all love and appreciate your work, man. Keep breaking boundaries. Keep doing you. We've got your back.

The best album I've heard in years. Saw the movie on Netflix and 10mins in I bought the album straight away. This is one of theos songs you don't want to end. I'm literally addicted to this album.

I absolutely love sound and fury. Amazing music and story!

The therapist: "Your dreams have meaning" my dreams:

when i first saw this i was like "those two severed heads had BETTER look like they're singing the lyrics at some point" and i was not disappointed at all

I have zero context for this. What is this, Mad Maxine’s Bizarre Adventure?

I remember finding this out of context a few months ago, thinking it was JUST an anime, and feeling like this was just a crazy fever dream. I love that it's part of a greater show.

this was a good story thanks for creating it

I remember watching this for the first time on netflix. That was the sharpest and most out of the blue left turn i have ever experienced in my life and probably ever will experience

This album is epic, as are each of the songs in their own way... Dance number!

the speed at which i ran to lock my door when the choreographed bit came on can not be measured by human technology

God damn, thats was so good!

This is the type of shit you see when you don't sleep for two days because you have a big school project

“Side Effects include memory loss, unbelievable pain, and in some cases death.” *everyone in the background* 1:14

Awesome

I found this on Netflix thinking it was a short anime movie, but nope it was just one big music video for the entire album and ever since I'm glad I watched it

I love the lyrics to this song. In my opinion, it's the center theme to what Sturgill was doing when he created this album and went outside of the normal constraints of what the industry defined as his selling genre. Then followed up by "Make Art Not Friends", it really makes you wonder how much freedom some artists in the industry really have to truly express themselves when it goes outside of what the industry think will sell and appeal to the most people. The Star Of David don't belong to the David at all He borrowed it from Peter just so he could pay off Paul Peter copyrighted the star and now he owns a claim But a star is still a star by any other name Well now everybody's worried about a good look But they need to be worried about a good hook Instead of skipping straight to the last page In that ol' rationalization book I write my poems in the dirt with an oily rag I have to wear a gas mask just so I don't gag I got a SOCOM Scout, twenty extra mags And a couple severed heads in my bug out bag Well now everybody's worried about a good look But they need to be worried about a good hook Instead of skipping straight to the last page In that ol' rationalization book Why you gettin' pissed 'cause we're getting discovered Are you talking all this shit just to get on the cover Well now, how you gonna eat when you're biting the hand Well you know they don't like it when you take a stand So enjoy it while you can And to hell with all the boys in the band 'Cause it's over now Doesn't fly it only sends ya pain Well now everybody's worried about a good look But they need to be worried about a good hook Instead of skipping straight to the last page In that ol' rationalization book

Man Sturgill what did you say was in these brownies.

I love the art style for the animation

Probably the best music video I've ever seen.

Had this song come up as a commercial break (Literally the whole song)...Now that is what I call an Ad worth watching to the end!

After 43 years I thought my time had come and I was finally having that acid flashback. Thank God. It was just Sturgill Simpson.

Well this is an absolute delight, thank you :)

AWESOME!!!!

And everybody thought that anime and country music didn't go together. Sturgill Simpson : Hold my 🍺

This is fucking awsome I'm glad I found this on accident

soo cool!

The moves are so fluid, it fits the music perfectly. Sweet! From France with love 💕

I watched this whole thing on Netflix and recommended it to everyone, great rocking album with awesome animated and visual edits. More bands should follow this!

Love this song, love this album. The gift you have given the music industry is inconceivable. Sturgill Simpson is a goddam hero in my eyes. Brilliant work

LOL I found this last night on Netflix, haven't watched an anime in ages and started watching something random and this scene came by. I was cracking up, had to film it but social media took the sound off for DMCA. This looks badass on a TV.

best anime dance ive ever seen.
