This curio comes from a Mexican movie called Malos Habitos (Bad Habits), a "thinking man's horror film" dealing with issues of faith, adultery, food and family. If you think this sounds hard to swallow, then you'd best look away now. But if you find that your curiosity has been aroused and not on the street killing cats, then you might find this a rather intriguing proposition. This record is a lush, orchestrated affair that has been lovingly crafted. It sounds amazing, sophisticated and (lazy journalism alert) real soundtracky. There are 20 compositions on this CD, some of them have intricate piano motifs tying them together, other tracks have brooding orchestral passages (huh, huh I said passage) that sound quite ominous and no doubt lend a certain ambiance to the films dark tone. Some of the piano playing is absolutely brilliant, complex and assured. Other times the piano sounds like the plaintive cry of a new born lamb. There is a lot of space in this record. It doesn't sound like a typical Hollywoodland soundtrack. It sounds like it has religion running through its veins, as I'm sure its meant to. A piece of music that is complex, haunting and strangely affecting.
Daniele Luppi, the Italian composer who artfully straddles the world of traditional film composition (Hell Ride, Under The Tuscan Sun, Inside Deep Throat) and contemporary music (Gnarls Barkley, Broken Bells, Mondo Cane), will make the long-coveted score to Malos Habitos (Bad Habits) available via Ipecac Recordings.
Malos Habitos (Bad Habits) is an award-winning Mexican film about a dysfunctional family living in Mexico City. The haunting, twenty-track score has been unavailable until now.
Luppi came to international attention in 2004 with the daring debut, An Italian Story, an homage to the cinematic sounds he discovered in his youth. Since that time, the composer has worked on an impressive array of film scores while simultaneously working with contemporary musicians on arrangements for their albums including John Legend, Gnarls Barkley and Mike Patton's Mondo Cane.
One of the most anticipated albums of 2011 is Rome, an album five years in the making that sees Luppi once again re-team with Danger Mouse.
