Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi - Rome (preview)


Danger Mouse is a magician of our times and he always has sth unexpected to show. This time, he and (long time collaborator) Daniele Luppi have a new project called "Rome" to be released in March 1st 2011 via Parlophone. It features Jack White and Norah Jones and is heavily reminiscent of '60s Italian OSTs. And, of course, it sounds very very good.

"Every effort was made to replicate the recording practices of the 1960s/'70s golden age, recording live and straight to tape, with overdubs but no electronics, computers, 21st century effects or studio trickery. Luppi made some calls and they assembled the original musicians from films such as The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and Once Upon a Time in the West -- including the legendary Marc 4 backing band and Alessandro Alessandroni's 'I Cantori Moderni' choir. Most of the musicians were in their 70s and hadn't worked together for several decades."
