Born in Italy and raised in Canada, multiculture has served Rolando Gori well. His dreamy alternative/indie sounds are tailor-made for soundtracks, as proves to be the case; Gori has composed music for a multitude of films. A song like “Morning Light” has a punk rock, nasal vocal quality, while the mood music feels like something that Nick Cave or even Tom Waits would pen. All of which ties together quite nicely into a body of work that soothes and intrigues in equal measure. “Before the First Shot,” from last year’s Abandoned Structures, recalls Eno-era Bowie, and that’s no bad thing.
