DANGER MOUSE & SPARKLEHORSE Dark Night Of The Soul (2010 UK 13-track CD album - News of this unparalleled project began to circulate in early 2009 but its music was never made officially available. Now it has been rescued from 'lost album' status. 'Dark Night Of The Soul' is a beautiful, haunting album featuring a remarkable roll call of guests. The songs here were dark, dreamlike and explored war, death, pain, twisted dreams and other haunting subjects. Wanting to investigate a possible visual dimension, Danger Mouse approached iconic director David Lynch whose excitement for the project resulted in a series of original photographs and, remarkably, him contributing two songs. The album opens with a trio of sublime psychedelic rock songs featuring The Flaming Lips on the mournful, melancholic 'Revenge', ever-inventive Welshman Gruff Rhys waging a 'Just War' and Jason Lytle telling the biographical tale of 'Jaykub'. The pace and intensity increases with 'Little Girl', 'Angel's Harp' and 'Pain' which feature The Strokes lynchpin Julian Casablancas, Pixies frontman Black Francis and punk pioneer Iggy Pop respectively. Elsewhere, Linkous reunites with Nina Persson, formerly of the Cardigans, and singer-songwriter Vic Chesnutt. New Yorker Suzanne Vega sings 'The Man Who Played God' and the industrial tinged 'Insane Lullaby' is pregnant with the promise of James Mercer and Danger Mouse's subsequent Broken Bells project)
