Petra Haden Loves Movies
Petra Haden evokes cinema music's mystical allure on her engrossing new album Petra Goes To the Movies.
Following up on her groundbreaking a capella tribute to The Who, the L.A. alt-pop mainstay recasts her favorite film scores, mostly using multi-tracked choruses of her own versatile voice.
Only a few tracks qualify as theme songs, and most are instrumentals.
Singing every swoosh and crackle of these excerpts from Psycho, A Fistful of Dollars, Taxi Driver, 8 ½, The Social Network and others, Haden recreates the feeling of being awash in the sound worlds of master composers like Ennio Morricone, Bernard Hermann and Lalo Schifrin — and, yes, John Williams, since her favorite film as a kid was Superman.
