Some five years in the making, the long awaited collaborative effort between celebrated producer Danger Mouse and Italian film composer Daniele Luppi is a record like no other. An homage to the spaghetti western film music that is a passion for both, the album combines the original musicians from the Morricone scores of THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY and ONCE UPON a TIME IN THE WEST and augments them with revelatory vocals from Jack White and Norah Jones. with acclaimed director and photographer Chris Milk (Arcade Fire, Gnarls Barkley) brought in as Visual Director, half a decade of hard work and unstinting perfectionism would draw to a close as the album and package were completed. It's an ambitious work with a uniquely modern sound achieved through traditional, vintage means. It is, above all, a fully realized album, perfectly formed and hauntingly beautiful.
