On the latest of his myriad projects, man of a million voices Mike Patton tackles Italian pop songs of the ’60s and ’70s backed by the grandeur of a full orchestra.
While Mondo Cane finds the Faith No More and Mr. Bungle frontman singing almost entirely in Italian, his soaring takes on Ennio Morricone, Gino Paoli, and their contemporaries come off as anything but affected. Even if you can’t understand a word, the sweeping scope and emotion of these tracks are sure to speak to you intimately.
The 11 songs on the record are taken from a series of live European performances, with the best elements of each hand-selected and then combined in the studio, for an end result that borders on flawless in its pristine execution.
