Rome

Danger Mouse

Crafted over five years, this project draws inspiration from dramatic Italian film scores. The instrumental portions utilize the same vintage equipment and players found on classic Ennio Morricone soundtracks to generate an authentic, sweeping mood.

Norah Jones and Jack White provide vocal contributions that ground the melancholic results. The final product resembles a sun-drenched film noir, successfully merging modern indie-rock approaches with the orchestral scale of mid-century Italian movies.
