COVER OR ALBUM GNARLS BARKLEY ST. ELSEWHERE DOWNLOAD
It was released on Apin the UK, where it debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, and on in the United States, although it was available for purchase one week earlier as a digital download in the U.S.
Elsewhere, the funkiest pop record of ‘06 so far. Elsewhere is the debut album by United States hip hop soul duo Gnarls Barkley. Having previously knocked it out of the park with The Grey Album, Gorillaz’s Demon Days, and the loopy, inspired MF Doom collaboration The Mouse and the Mask, he’s teamed up with the Goodie Mob’s Cee-Lo Green and fashioned St. Green’s rich voice devilishly cuts through it all, turning dark ruminations into surrealistic fantasies. DJ Danger Mouse is officially a musical Midas. Elsewhere, teems with giddy hooks, spliced-up beats, psychedelic riffs, a Violent Femmes cover, and crate-digging samples from Italian composers and obscure folk artists. Buoyed by “Crazy”-which won a Grammy for Best Urban/Alternative Performance-their 2006 debut, St. By the time the pair officially became Gnarls Barkley in 2003, they had created quite a buzz-especially Danger Mouse, who had pulled off a stunning Jay-Z/Beatles mash-up with The Grey Album and produced Gorillaz’s 2005 album Demon Days. Producer Danger Mouse (Gorillaz, The Grey Album) and former Goodie Mob singer Cee-Lo Green may use futuristic tools to attain their sound, slicing up beats and juxtaposing contrasting samples with freeform glee, but their main appeal lies in the neo-soul that roots these songs in a Sly Stone-Curtis Mayfield. Their first collaboration came several years later, when Green appeared on a 2004 bonus track off Danger Mouse and Jemini’s hip-hop album Ghetto Pop Life. Danger Mouse (born Brian Burton) first met Goodie Mob member Green (born Thomas DeCarlo Callaway) in the late ‘90s in Georgia. “I remember when I lost my mind,” he howls, “there was something so pleasant about that place.” The song beautifully blends pop’s sleek simplicity with soul’s raw emotion, and it was the perfect introduction to one of the decade’s most eclectic pairings. Just listen to the duo’s massive 2006 debut hit, “Crazy,” an infectious slice of neo-soul injected with producer Danger Mouse’s bass-heavy, Spaghetti Western-flavored minimalism and powered by singer/songwriter CeeLo Green’s booming bellow. Gnarls Barkley’s kaleidoscopic soul-funk thrills are also some of pop music’s most gut-wrenching deep dives into the psyche.
