What we said:
Had
Danger Mouse followed his original career plan, he’d have been making films and not albums now. Now the man voted “Producer of the Decade” has found a way to combine both passions, collaborating with Italian composer
Daniele Luppi on this loving homage to epic spaghetti western soundtracks. A true labour of love, Danger Mouse has constructed
Rome with painstaking attention to detail, using vintage instruments, the musicians from
Ennio Morricone’s scores and the (specially-reformed) choir from
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Vocals from
Jack White and
Norah Jones complete the picture, resulting in an album of windswept beauty that fans of
Broken Bells and
Dark Night of the Soul will love.
