Dark Night of the Soul

Long delayed, this collaboration between Brian Burton and the late Mark Linkous is worth the wait. As you'd expect, the album is a collection of down-tempo mood music, with Danger Mouse's dream-pop sensibilities and Linkous' melancholy alt country sensibilities complementing each other superbly.
As well as the two leading artists, Dark Night Of The Soul features contributions from an all-star array of rock talent, including The Flaming Lips, Julian Casablancas, Nina Persson, Iggy Pop and Frank Black. Fittingly for such a suite of haunted - and haunting - music, the beautifully surreal album artwork is provided by David Lynch.
Bold and bewitching, Dark Night Of The Soul is a superb album and a fittingly sombre memorial for Mark Linkous.
