MUSIC: Gnarls Barkley Ready to Drop

Cool Hunting reports the first album from Gnarls Barkley, St. Elsewhere, drops next week. Gnarls Barkley is a collaborative project of Danger Mouse and Cee-Lo from Goodie Mob. Danger Mouse is best known for his mashup of Jay-Z's The Black Album and The Beatles' The White Album: The Grey Album. Cool Hunting describes the Gnarls Barkley sound as "somewhere in between Sly and the Family Stone and Outkast." The video for "Crazy" is an exquisitely cool animated Rorschach homage.

it's a really great record. i'm not the biggest fan of dangermouse, but i'll follow cee-lo to any church, anywhere.



funky.

It is as good. The album is well worth the hype. All the songs are pretty short, nothing more than 3 1/2 minutes, but they all have a great vibe, a great energy. They cover Gone Daddy Gone, which TOTALLY surprised me. Gnarls Barkley is crazy.

Yeah, that cover was not too shabby.

it's on like a muh...

I have only heard "Crazy", can't wait to hear some more!

I'm gonna need to pick this album up.

'Smiley Face' is the motherfucking shit.

It's not usually something I'd pick up when I'm music shopping, but I've heard good things and I've yet to meet anyone that doesn't like Crazy.

The samples on iTunes are promising, Storm Coming sounds like it could become a favourite of mine.

that's the first music video i've ever seen where i didn't want my 3 minutes back at the end. awesomeness

the album is fantastic, from front to back. it's unlike anything i've ever heard, completely transcending almost all genres.
i can't wait to see them next month

I agree

also Gnarls Barkley is basically the best name ever

Ooh, I can't wait to hear the rest of the album.

it's gooood...my boyfriend was kind enough to put it on my new mp3 player for me, along with a bunch of talk radio that i kow i'll never listen to and some hiphop that i DIDN'T want, but he likes....

anyway, i listened to some of it while i was shopping today. it was perfect music for a rainy day.

Just picked up the album today, listening through it right now, so far I like the whole thing.

I was not dissapointed by my two month anticipation.

i seriously considered going back to the music store i work in at midnight to pick it up (after getting out at 10) but was too tired. so i bought it as soon as i got in this morning. soooo gooooood. we're all digging it at the store, and we've sold quite a few copies for something that's not terribly huge. we were onyl supposed to get five copies but i ordered a bunch more, i just had that feeling....

I'm the only one that finds them horribly over-rated, then?

Yeah at the store I went to I talked to the guy and he said they got more copies than he expected, but then again he had only heard crazy and didn't think it was all that big.

Oh and as I was in line crazy come on the radio station they were listening to in the store.
