OUT NOW: Kamasi Washington, Bonobo and Floating Points Full-Length Lazarus Soundtracks
After a first taste of the music from Adult Swim’s exciting new anime series Lazarus a few weeks back, the full soundtracks are now available! Three acclaimed artists: Kamasi Washington, Bonobo, and Floating Points have each contributed a full-length album to the new Adult Swim series from legendary Shinichirō Watanabe, the famed director behind Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo and other cult classics.
Marking Watanabe’s return to the sci-fi genre, Lazarus is a pulse-pounding thriller about a miracle drug, Hapna, that presumably frees anyone who takes it from all pain. However, it is later revealed that Hapna has a fatal consequence: all who have taken the drug will perish. With only thirty days to save humanity, a group of agents must find a vaccine before all is lost.
Produced by Sola Entertainment in collaboration with Adult Swim and animated by Studio MAPPA, Lazarus airs on Saturdays at midnight on Toonami, with new episodes available the next day on Max.
