A lot of people have been asking about this and though I’m not up on the know, we do have access to listen to the album in its entirety online via npr.org. But first, here is a quick overview of the project, courtesy of TheUrbanKerouac:
After teasing indie electro nerds at SXSW with a parade of mysterious movie posters sporting David Lynch‘s insignia, Danger Mouse and Singer/Multi-Instrumentalist Mark Linkous (of Sparklehorse) revealed to the world that they were working on an exciting collaboration project featuring some of indie rock’s most celebrated musicians, such as: Wayne Coyne (The Flaming Lips), James Mercer (The Shins), Julian Casablancas (The Strokes), Iggy Pop, and more.
Dark Night of the Soul was written by Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse, though the myriad of singers featured on each track also had a big hand in composing and producing the work. The album was initially going to be packaged with a book of photos taken by David Lynch, but now there’s word that the music may never be officially released at all.
An unnamed spokesperson for Danger Mouse says that “due to an ongoing dispute with EMI” the book of photographs will “now come with a blank, recordable CD-R. All copies will be clearly labeled: ‘For legal reasons, enclosed CD-R contains no music. Use it as you will.’”
You can order the book from their official website here.
