A few years ago he collaborated with Danger Mouse and Jack White creating a concept album about Rome. It seems that he is continuing the concept but this time he has focused, as the album’s title suggests, Milan (described as the New York of Europe). However while Rome was a tribute to spaghetti westerns, Milan is stuffed with spiky post punk, (in order to keep in line with the NY comparison), courtesy of New York band Parquet Courts. As an added bonus fellow New Yorker Karen O sings on a few tracks.
