Mike Patton (Faith No More) and French composer Jean-Claude Vannier (known for work with Serge Gainsbourg) team up on Corpse Flower, a 12-track album blending Patton’s unique vocals with Vannier’s intricate compositions. Created through a transatlantic collaboration, the record features musicians from both LA and Paris, including Smokey Hormel and Bernard Paganotti. The album showcases a mix of humour, sincerity, and artistry, with standout tracks like “On Top Of The World” and a lyrical nod to Oscar Wilde’s poem in “Ballad C.3.3.”
