DANGERMOUSE, SPARKLEHORSE AND DAVID LYNCH: DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL

Dark Night of the Soul, the treatise written by Spanish poet and Roman Catholic Mystic Saint John of the Cross has  become an expression used to describe a phase in a person’s spiritual life, a metaphor for a certain loneliness and desolation. The other  “Dark Night of the Soul”, the mysterious multi-media project/album involving Danger Mouse , Mark Linkous , and David Lynch has proven just as cryptic. While the unreleased album featuring Danger Mouse, Sparklehorse, the Flaming Lips, Iggy Pop, Frank Black, Julian Casablancas, Jason Lytle, and James Mercer of the Shins, remains on “indefinite hiatus” after a dispute with the record label EMI, the book is available for sale on new interactive website for Dark Night of the Soul along with a blank CD.  Its a shame because it’s a great album that everyone should hear. Luckily, it has made its way onto the webs, youtube and some select record shops in New York if you can find it. Check out some videos from tracks on the album below and stream the entire album HERE.
