EACH ARTIST CONTRIBUTES A FULL LP TO THE NEW SERIES BY LEGENDARY DIRECTOR SHINICHIRŌ WATANABE

LAZARUS AIRS SATURDAYS AT MIDNIGHT ON ADULT SWIM

NEW YORK, NY (April 11, 2025) –
Milan Records today debuts three soundtracks from the new anime series LAZARUS by artists KAMASI WASHINGTON, BONOBO and FLOATING POINTS. Each artist was tasked with contributing a full-length soundtrack to the series by director Shinichirō Watanabe, resulting in three distinct listening experiences that together provide a dynamic soundscape to the thrilling sci-fi narrative. In addition to contributing the series opening theme “Vortex,” multi-instrumentalist, composer and bandleader KAMASI WASHINGTON infuses the series with expansive ensemble jazz numbers punctuated by his virtuosic saxophone solos. Meanwhile, producer and DJ BONOBO delivers a dreamy and atmospheric collection of music that blends twinkling electronic synths and warm organic instrumentation. Finally, producer and composer FLOATING POINTS rounds out the soundscape with a genre-defying body of electronic-meets-jazz music that provides an otherworldly companion to the onscreen story.

ABOUT LAZARUS
The year is 2052.

The world seemed to be on the verge of unprecedented peace and stability, and the painkiller drug “Hapna” developed by a lauded neuroscientist Dr. Skinner has had a lot to do with it. Pervasive throughout the world with no known side effects, Hapna is said to have freed humanity from pain.

But then, Skinner suddenly disappeared off the face of the earth.

Three years later, he re-emerges as a prophet who brings countless deaths and the end of civilization. Hapna is designed with a fatal, retroactive effect, which manifests three years after ingestion, even by those who have only taken it once. Just thirty days remain until humanity is doomed to extinction. The only way to save the world is to get the cure that only Skinner knows. For that we must first find him.


Lazarus” is a team of five agents gathered from various corners of the world to do just that. Can they save humanity? And what is Skinner's true purpose?
