The new Danger Mouse album is “out”, and it’s pretty fantastic. Due to a dispute with his label EMI, it won’t actually be released. Apparently there will be a 100+ page booklet featuring photos by David Lynch, with a blank CD-R included in the package. No word on when. “For Legal Reasons, enclosed CD-R contains no music. Use it as you will.”
The Iggy Pop track is my favorite so far, the lyrics are classic: “I’m a mix of god and monkey”
Hear the album streamed here, (download those tracks here? or full stream in 1). Or find it torrentially which I believe is better quality, @160kbps.
The album features: Iggy Pop, Wayne Coyne (the Flaming Lips), Frank Black (the Pixies), James Mercer (the Shins), Julian Casablancas (the Strokes), Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals), Jason Lytle (Grandaddy), Nina Persson (Cardigans), Vic Chestnut, Suzanne Vega, David Lynch
