Colin Stetson's soundtrack for the upcoming Uzumaki anime is out now courtesy of Milan Records. The soundtrack is available digitally, just in time for the anime's release on September 28. Commenting on the album, Stetson said:
“I really loved this time of making music and living in the strange, gorgeous, horrifying and breathtaking spiraling world that Ito-Sensei created.”
This is Stetson's first anime title, but he has experience with the horror genre as he has previously worked on scores for films such as Hereditary and The Menu. He often collaborates with Arcade Fire and Bon Iver. The tracklist for the Uzumaki anime soundtrack, which will also be available to order as a 180-gram black and white spiral-edged vinyl edition, includes:
