A Perfect Place is released on Ipecac recordings and includes a DVD of David Scocchera’s movie as well as a CD of Mike Patton’s score.
Photographed in B&W Panavision, A Perfect Place is a neo-noir tragi-comedy revolving around a pair of bumbling friends trying to dispose of a corpse.
While some of the music is orchestrative in its nature, in classic Patton style there’s an infusion of genres blending pop and ragtime balladry. Shades of Ennio Morricone, John Barry and Fantomas combine with a smoky, suitably cinematic ambience.
