Mike Patton/Jean-Claude Vannier - Corpse Flower [Smoky Swirl Vinyl LP]

On ‘Corpse Flower’ (2019), Mike Patton joins forces with celebrated French composer Jean‑Claude Vannier—renowned for his work with Serge Gainsbourg—to craft a collection of songs that merge chanson‑style lyricism with avant‑pop eccentricities. The album blends lush arrangements, noir‑tinged atmospheres, and Patton’s mercurial vocals, yielding a sophisticated yet playfully surreal collaboration.
