Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as a passionate homage to the Italian pop music of the 1950s and 60s, 'Mondo cane' showcases Mike Patton operating completely outside his usual avant-garde rock comfort zone. Backed by a full 40-piece orchestra and choir, Patton delivers dramatic, soaring vocal performances of classic Italian standards. The album highlights his immense versatility as a vocalist while introducing historical European pop stylings to a modern alternative audience.
