Sean Wolcott "Love is a Funny Game" LP

Limited to only 200 copies

Fresh on the heels of “il Mietitore cavalca verso ovest,” “Love is a Funny Game” is a new library record from composer, producer, and engineer Sean Wolcott. Acting as an imaginary soundtrack to an early 70s Italian-French romantic melodrama, we sonically follow a relationship from its blossoming to its untimely demise.

Lush compositions and soaring melodies take us on this journey with flutes, vocal quintets, brass, drums, harpsichords, guitars, and organs guided ahead by deep grooves of erotic Bossa Nova, hard-edged Easy Listening, and cinematic Soul. With 14 songs evoking a calm-yet-intense melancholy, we hear something singularly unique under its dreamlike trance, while recalling the sounds of Burt Bacharach, David Axelrod, Phil Spector, Charles Stepney, Alessandro Alessandroni, Sven Libek, Sergio Mendes, and more.

All songs were written, produced, arranged, orchestrated, and recorded by Sean Wolcott at Soundview Analog Recorders.
