When it comes to Mike Patton, expect the unexpected. It should come as no surprise that the man behind Faith No More, Fantômas, Tomahawk and Mr. Bungle has now teamed up with a the most unlikely of matches – Jean-Claude Vannier. Vannier is a musician, composer and arranger who is well known on the French music scene for having worked alongside the likes of Barbara, Claude-François, Jacques Higelin, Alain Bashung, Michel Polnareff, Claude Nougaro, Juliette Gréco and most notably Serge Gainsbourg, with whom he composed the legendary album Histoire de Melody Nelson. Between 1975-1990, he released half a dozen albums full of wistful songs that unfortunately never really took off but did land him a delightful fan-base.
In fact, the first time that the Californian and the Frenchman met was for a Gainsbourg tribute in 2011. Eight years later, this superb baroque duo have now taken their friendship to the next level and collaborated for this album. The pair manage to combine abstract, pop and classical music in a way that isn’t overly pretentious. Vannier’s orchestration is as quirky yet sophisticated with a touch of romantic drama that is a pleasure to listen to, especially combined with Patton’s deep and sultry voice. The result is a symphony of a thousand sounds that makes Corpse Flower a work of art unlike any other. Amazing. © Marc Zisman/Qobuz
