Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse - Dark Night of the Soul Deluxe Edition


Dark Night Of The Soul is an album by audio auteur Danger Mouse and the already much-missed Sparklehorse. The record sees the pair joined by the following remarkable roll call of guests: The Flaming Lips, Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals), Jason Lytle (Grandaddy), Julian Casablancas (The Strokes), Black Francis (The Pixies), Iggy Pop, David Lynch, James Mercer (The Shins/Broken Bells), Nina Persson (The Cardigans), Suzanne Vega and Vic Chesnutt. Rumors of this mysterious collaborative project began to circulate in early 2009 sparking widespread anticipation and excitement. Now, following months of talks, Danger Mouse and EMI are excited and proud to announce that Dark Night Of The Soul will be released worldwide in July.

While this beautiful, haunting record being made widely and legitimately available is undoubtedly a cause for celebration, the news is shadowed by sadness following the recent passing of Mark Linkous, who released and performed under the Sparklehorse pseudonym. Dark Night Of The Soul will now stand as a de facto tribute to this well-loved, stunningly talented yet often-overlooked artist. In addition to featuring on two songs, celebrated film director David Lynch has created a series of original photographs for Dark Night Of The Soul adding a spectacular visual dimension that will be incorporated in to the artwork for this already unparalleled project.

The deluxe version includes: 2xLPs, CD, instrumental CD, poster, lobby cards and 48-page 12x12 booklet features photos by David Lynch

Under the Radar: Henry Clay People


New album "Somewhere on the Golden Coast" out June 8th on Glassnote.

From the L.A. Times:

HENRY CLAY PEOPLE
There’s a big part of Los Angeles holding its breath waiting for these boys to break out. Bands like the Hold Steady, Pavement and the Replacements are often cited when talking about the Henry Clay People, but an affinity for those is not necessary. THCP stands on its own, delivering songs with heart to those who are hungry and turning the mundane into straight-up American rock. On “Working Part Time,” Joey Siara (who fronts the band with brother Andy) sings, “We were working part time all the time…We got drunk and called in sick.” Who can’t relate to that? The group’s live show is a blast of fist-pumping chaos—bodies crashing, spilled drinks. And that’s just onstage. THCP kicks off a U.S. tour with Silversun Pickups and Against Me! on June 15. With a third CD, Somewhere on the Golden Coast, about to hit on the same label that released Radiohead’s In Rainbows, everything is in its right place for great things to come. —Kat Corbett
