- Insane Lullaby
- The Man Who Played God
It's not often that an artist gets multiple songs in the 'Song of the Week' category, but this new CD from the tandem of Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse has earned this honour.
Danger Mouse is most famous for his 2004 release of The Grey Album, a musical work combining the acapellas from Jay-Z's The Black Album with the instrumentals from The Beatles' The White Album. Danger Mouse later teamed with Cee-Lo to create Gnarls Barkley, releasing their hit single "Crazy."
This album is also a tribute to Sparklehorse, aka. Marc Linkous, a songwriter who took his own life this past March. A sad ending to a melancholy CD, but too good to pass up.
Had never heard of them, until now. Thanks for posting! I listen with a melancholic ear after reading how this reviewer -http://www.nowtoronto.com/music/discs.cfm?content=175893 - interprets the album as a tribute to the late Mark Linkous (aka Sparklehorse).
ReplyDeleteOn a separate note, has Hutchins, Hutchins & Sons heard of Mumford & Sons?
