 Jon Brion, Meaningless
Jon Brion would seem to be a prime candidate for this affliction.
In many respects, as evidenced by his collaborations with Aimee Mann in which he co-wrote, produced and played many of the instruments, Brion is the millennial version of the singer-songwriter, except, in the age of the computer workstation, he's singer, songwriter, producer, arranger and engineer.
Though Brion's debut may not rely on personality—his voice is fairly anonymous—it's a thoroughly enjoyable listen and a grower to boot.

 Jon Brion: I Heart Huckabees: Pitchfork Record Review   (Site not responding. Last check: )
This might explain why Brion's Huckabees score is more understated and unobtrusive than most of his work; his penchant for underscoring quiet intensity is at odds with the film's series of shouting matches.
Brion unexpectedly falls back on his talents as a singer/songwriter, composing five new "vocal pop rock" songs that have little relation to the film itself, aside from the obligatory closing credits OST tie-in.
Brion admits that most of this material was amassed from pieces he composed years ago, pieces which seemed to "click" when added to corresponding scenes.

Brion comes from a musical family — Dad was a band director at Yale, Mom liked singing old standards around the house — and never was he discouraged from pursuing a life in music.
As Brion’s not exactly known for being a hip-hop aficionado, at first glance his and West’s association seemed bloody unlikely, too, come to think of it.
But it was Brion whom West wanted, and it was Brion who happily accepted the job and delights in the wealth of knowledge he gained from the experience.

 Priory of Brion
The Priory of Brion grew out of a reunion between Robert Plant and his old friend Kevyn Gammond from the Band of Joy.
The origins of the band were in the Performing Arts faculty at Kidderminster College, where at least two of the members have worked and where the others may have been students.
Written by Tim Hardin, this is the only Priory of Brion song which has previously appeared on one of Robert's solo albums (Fate of Nations in 1993), also was performed by Plant during his 1993 tour.

 Amazon.com: Punch Drunk Love (Score): Music: Jon Brion   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Brion variously revives vintage Hawaiian pop-kitsch and Conway Twitty at his early Elvis-clone angstiest, and perfectly recasts Shelly Duvall's determined/desperate reading of "He Really Needs Me" from Harry Nilsson's underappreciated Popeye score as one of his major romantic themes; codependents need love, too.
But the major touchstone for Brion's instrumental underscore is the elusive Reprise Records sound of the late '60s/early '70s, with arrangements that seem lingering homages to Brian Wilson's Smile, Van Dyke Parks's Song Cycle, and Randy Newman's Sail Away.
The overture to Brion's PUNCH DRUNK LOVE soundtrack, in its waltz time, feels like it was plucked right from the brilliant second half of Martin's "Sea of Time." This soundtrack shifts back and forth between delectible orchestral pop, experimental instrumentals, incongruous vocal tracks and sweeping soundtrack melodies.

Brion looked excited and flushed in grey suit and cartoony T-shirt as he announced his customary lack of a setlist.
Finale "I Believe She's Lying" was both built and morphed by Brion's obvious exhaustion, culminating in his "frustrated artist" kick to the toy piano, deafeningly powerful guitar-screed coda, and massive noisy loops, prompting possibly the longest Inton-ovation yet awarded any performer...as well as the festival's first true encore.
Brion must've glimpsed a dying sun across Ashland Avenue just before inviting his impromptu band back for what he confidently considers the "most beautiful song ever written": The Kinks' "Waterloo Sunset".

 JON BRION
In Brion's world, there is no pre-production, and he'll only play the songs one time with the artist before they roll tape.
There are one to three passes at that type of experimentation, and then Brion will turn to a handful of tried and true studio techniques to find the right sound.
In addition to the eclectic truckload of instruments, Brion will generally arrive at the chosen studio (these days it's usually either Ocean Way or NRG in Hollywood) with some mic-pre's, a couple of his own high-end microphones, a couple of what he calls "character microphones," as well as some old outboard effects.

 Various Artists - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Soundtrack - Review - Stylus Magazine
Interestingly, that theme is an adaptation of Brion’s pop song "Strings That Tie to You", a pop song that has been circulating for years on bootlegs originating from one of Brion’s Largo club performances.
Apropos of Brion’s immense talent for transmuting complex emotions into uncomplicated lyrics, "Strings That Tie to You" is an appropriately bittersweet theme for the film.
Strip away all the songs other than those Brion or Beck had a hand in, and what you have is a small treasure of a record, and probably the finest film score of 2004.
