Vinyl In The Works For Attack On Titan Jazz Album

One of the weirder projects we’ve run across is a tribute to Attack On Titan from the Prescription For Sleep series. This series, created by music producers Scarlet Moon, has eleven installments so far, each one reinterpreting the soundtrack of a popular video game as smooth jazzy music to fall asleep to. The next album in the series, announced last month, pivoted to anime and picked a subject about as far from relaxing as you can get.

Attack On Titan is about a massive, bloody war between the survivors of humanity and the widely grinning naked giants that like to trample and eat them (the situation eventually changes somewhat, but that’s a spoiler). Scarlet Moon producer Jayson Napolitano admits even without the startling elements, this is an unorthodox swerve for the series. “I came to enjoy Attack on Titan pretty late, right before season 2, so I haven’t been waiting nearly as long as most fans out there,”

“This is the first time we’ve produced an album in the series that does not cover a videogame and with themes that don’t particularly align with what Hibino-san is trying to do in therapeutic music, but our goal was to ‘bring peace’ to something so tragic and violent, and I’m really happy with how it turned out,” Napolitano says. I hope listeners enjoy it as much as we do.”

And this weekend, Scarlet Moon announced a vinyl pressing for Prescription For Sleep: Attack On Titan is going to happen. The records won’t be ready to ship until 2023, however. Scarlet Moon says this is just fine, as that’s the year the anime is ending.
