Album Review

Rome, a long-gestating collaboration between producer Brian Joseph Burton (aka Danger Mouse) and Italian composer Daniele Luppi, pays tribute to Italian cinema’s spaghetti Western era with the subtlety of a revolver to the forehead. Lovingly detailed, atmospheric, and oozing the Technicolor glow of a smoke-stained '70s movie screen, Rome is awfully hard not to cheer for, even when it’s stuck on autopilot, as rarely do pet projects feel this alive and sumptuous. Burton and Luppi were wise to bring on Jack White and Norah Jones to flesh things out, as their vocal contributions provide a much-needed break from the immaculate yet familiar melodies. Jones, with her smoky timbre and laid-back delivery, brings a cool confidence to standout cuts like “Season’s Trees” and “Black," while White, who spent countless hours driving around and listening to the instrumental mixes while bouncing ideas into a hand-held tape recorder, manages to make songs like “Two Against One” and “The World,” the latter of which features a knockout octave vocal, feel as sinister as their intentions. Rome’s instrumental bits feel nearly interchangeable with their Morricone/Tarantino counterparts, but there’s a joyful lawlessness to the whole affair that makes it feel less like a lark and more like a fever dream come to unlikely fruition.

Customer Reviews

Excellent

Les Inrocks en 2009 évoquaient le talent jamais démenti de Danger Mouse, alias Brian Burton, à produire des albums de qualité, et à former lui-même des groupes qu'on n'oublie pas: Gnarls Barkley, Broken Bells ou encore l'album Dark Night of The Soul pour lequel il forme un groupement spécial pour l'occasion: Sparklehorse, David Lynch, Suzanne Vega, Julian Casablancas, Black Francis, Iggy Pop et bien d'autres.
The Grey Album, mélangant la voix de Jay-Z aux au White Album des Beatles a offert un résultat surprenant mais néanmoins savoureux.

Avec Rome, retour en force du génie de Danger Mouse accompagné de Daniele Luppi, compositeur italien de bandes originales (Nine, Inside Deep Throat,...), au service d'un hommage rendu à Ennio Morricone et aux bandes originales des années 60 made in Italy. Avec les voix des non moins célèbres et talentueux Jack White et Norah Jones, qui s'adaptent décidément à tous les environnements musicaux, le résultat est plus que probant.

La cohérence de l'album est étonnante, alors que chaque morceau diffère des autres, de manière subtile, oscillant entre musique de film, musique classique, voix plus rock et consonances parfois indie: une union de genres qui détend, laisse en paix et fait sourire. Un album au rythme surprenant qui offre quelques interludes. À écouter chez soi, en voiture ou entre amis, le cocktail Rome en étourdira plus d'un.
