Mondo Cane album

The ever-eccentric Mike Patton has set a release date for his new musical endeavour, Mondo Cane.

The brainchild of Patton (Faith No More, Fantomas et al.), and featuring a fusion of Italian language meets rock and orchestra, ‘Mondo Cane’ is set for release on May 4 through Ipecac Recordings.

Patton worked with a 30-piece orchestra and choir to form what is now the Mondo Cane sound. Consistent with his previous work, the music is definitely unusual but nevertheless interesting.
