Mike Patton (oh he of Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, Tomahawk, Peeping Tom and on and on and on fame) unleashes his next project on the world today. "Mondo Cane." Experimental heavy metal? Vocal manipulations? Hip-hop inspired pop dalliances? Jazz fusion? No. This time out, the vocalist drops a record of covers. Covers of 1950's and 1960's Italian pop songs to be exact. Sung in Italian. When he's not screaming, Patton's voice is made for this kind of thing, and it's really good, to be honest. It keeps in line with his Morricone soundtrack fascination that's been evident on some of the Mr. Bungle stuff, his collaborations with John Zorn, and one of his more recent solo outings, "A Perfect Place," and that's a good thing. Head over to
Ipecac Records to sample some tunes.
