Beyond the scoring stage and in the studio, Luppi has put forward a string of releases that exemplify various eras of Italian music. His first album, An Italian Story, paid homage to vintage 60s and 70s soundstage compositions and featured contributions by members of Marc 4. Rome, a conceptual follow-up, was described as "purely gorgeous" by Pitchfork,[3] seen as a foray into the mainstream and was praised for its collaborations with Jack White, Norah Jones and Danger Mouse. MILANO, Luppi's 2017 full-length album featuring accompaniment from Karen O and Parquet Courts, is the final volume of his Italian trilogy. Whereas his previous work called on a cinematic era in Italian music, MILANO examined the 1980s New York no wave and punk scene and its influence on Milanese music, fashion and high-art, and served as a finale acknowledging Italy's arts and culture.
