Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse - Dark Night of the Soul

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
Found through BoingBoing:

EMI has told Danger Mouse that his latest CD won't see the light of day due to "legal issues," so he's responding by releasing the disc as a blank CD-R in a jewel case with art and liner notes. Fans can just download the music off a P2P site and burn it to the CD-R.

Official site for the album.


NPR stream of the album.

Easiest site I have found to get the album.


I have listened to it couple of times and think it is pretty good. Definitely some hauntological influence in the tunes especially the later tracks with the hiss and static (sounds almost at some points like you are getting a weak signal or combination of signals from your radio). At first I thought it was going to be a companion piece to Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion, but it takes a turn after a couple of tracks.

I kept meaning to mainpage this over the weekend, never did. Weird story. Love to know the true argument at EMI.

Yeah, browsing through music blogs some think it may just be a gimmick of some sort. No idea. I like the album. Not sure what the exact legal reasons would be other than unlicensed samples. Sorry, if I should have sent this in first.

No, it's cool. It's several days old, for one, and only kinda related to what we cover anyway.

Thanks Diva. I just want some of you with a better music vocabulary, ear, and background to write what you think about it.

Thanks for the links, Casey. Will check it out when I get home tonight. Enjoyed the Grey Album and LOVED the DangerDoom collaboration, so I'm pumped to hear what he's done here. Cheers!
