Dark Night of the Soul

Head over to NPR to hear the new Sparklehorse/Danger Mouse collaboration, Dark Night of the Soul, featuring a host of great guest vocalists including Julian Casablancas and Iggy Pop. This might be the best post-Beatles album I’ve ever heard, and I mean that as a big compliment. The only bad news: it’s not getting a proper release because of ongoing legal issues with EMI. It will be released as a 100-page booklet with photographs by David Lynch (!) as well as a blank CD-R to be used as you wish (wink wink).
