Danger Mouse – DJ, producer, music auteur and one half of Gnarls Barkley – has teamed up with Sparklehorse and produced a fantastic album, Dark Night of the Soul.

There’s quite a quarrel between the artists and EMI so the CD’s distribution is unusual, to say the least. The package looks good, with a beautifully printed booklet with visuals by none other than David Lynch. Oh, and a blank CDR. Yes, you read that right. The CD is blank. The artists encourage you to, uhm, “find” the music online and burn it yourself. NPR is streaming the whole album but it’s available in loads of places if you know where to look.

The album is fantastic. Go get it!
