dark night of the soul

in case you didn't already know, danger mouse and sparklehorse put their heads together and made one of the best albums of 2009. it's called dark night of the soul. like its very distant stepcousin dark was the night (no real relation), this album features an array of contributing artists. david lynch is responsible for the album art and participates on a couple tracks. i'm bound to bring some bias to the table since i'm a big fan of danger mouse, sparklehorse, david lynch, and nearly every artist on dark night of the soul. but this is a great album.

due to problems between danger mouse and emi, the music is not for sale. it is available for download if you can find it and you can visit the dark night of the soul website to support the artists by purchasing artwork and a blank cd. you can also stream the album for a limited time on npr music.
