American Pop
“All those years, all those dreams, all those sons... one of them is going to be a star.”
AnimationMusicDramaHistory
The history of American popular music runs parallel with the history of a Russian Jewish immigrant family, with each male descendant possessing different musical abilities.
VIBE
A sweeping, often tragic, generational saga set to a killer soundtrack. It feels like a fever dream of American music history, blending personal struggle with the rise and fall of artistic ambition. A unique, adult animation experience.
