Danger Mouse And Sparklehorse's Dark Night Of The Soul Posters Are Now Everywhere

Not to be confused with Dark Was The Night, except for similar potential for mind explosion.

New Gnarls Barkley Video - "Mystery Man"

The official video for Gnarls's new single, the backbeat/soul collage "Mystery Man," matches the song's overall cut-paste, drafted, b-side vibe with some lo-fi, simply drawn, sketched on animation.

New Gnarls Barkley - "Mystery Man" (Stereogum Premiere)

Packed into that set of "Who's Gonna Save My Soul" demos and alternate takes is this unreleased Gnarls tune "Mystery Man."

New Gnarls Barkley Video - "Who's Gonna Save My Soul?"

The Internet got its first listen to "Who's Gonna Save My Soul?" when ?uestlove leaked it (as much as you can call sharing a good friend's track with permission a "leak") to YouTube.

New Beck Video - "Orphans"

This second video from Modern Guilt doesn't add much in the way of exciting visuals. It's black and white, Beck and his rhythm section performing the heavy album opener in a lonely white room. No cameo from Miss Chan Marshall,... CONTINUE READING NEW BECK VIDEO - "ORPHANS"»

New Beck Video - "Gamma Ray"

Premature Evaluation: Beck - Modern Guilt

It's been some time since we learned Modern Guilt, Beck Hansen's eighth album, would be some sort of psych rock minimalist '60s trip with Danger Mouse.

Beck's Modern Guilt Album Art & Tracklist

Premature Evaluation: The Black Keys - Attack & Release

Danger Mouse is a good producer. Or at least we like the accents and aesthetic he brings to his projects. His dreamy sheen saves much of the mediocre Odd Couple, for instance.
