I just discovered this amazing new album,
Dark Night Of The Soul, which may or may not be released, due to some legal dispute with EMI, but is available for an exclusive first listen on NPR. It's a collaborative project between Danger Mouse, Sparklehorse, David Lynch (the director) and an incredible entourage of other artists:
- The Flaming Lips
- Jason Lytle
- Gruff Rhys of The Super Furry Animals
- Julian Casablancas of The Strokes
- Frank Black of The Pixies
- Iggy Pop
- James Mercer of The Shins
- Nina Persson of The Cardigans
- Suzanne Vega
- Vic Chesnutt
In the first place, I've been seriously jonesing for something new from The Shins, so I'm loving Mercer's track, "Insane Lullaby". And while I wasn't previously familiar with Suzanne Vega, "The Man Who Played God" is beautiful.
Really, the entire album is fantastic.
It would be really outrageous if this isn't released. EMI is run by fools.
