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.

Packed into that set of "Who's Gonna Save My Soul" demos and alternate takes is this unreleased Gnarls tune "Mystery Man." It's a b-side collage stitched of a couple sketches -- Cee-Lo soulfully straining to a fat keyboard-and-backbeat vamp, bookended...

There's gotta be something at least a little liberating about trying to follow up an album with a single as big as "Crazy"; there's just no fucking way it's happening! And everybody knows it. So the first sounds to drip from Gnarls's post-St. Elsewhere repertoire is a fat-beat Austin Powersy party soul jam, with Cee-Lo working up a sweat running for his life and Dangermouse sounding like he's been listening to lots of Mark Ronson. No horns, though; also, no idea if this will be a single from this year's The Odd Couple. But like everyone, we know it won't be as big as "Crazy," and that doesn't stop it from being a pretty good time.
