As if it wasn't exciting enough that power-duo Gnarls Barkley has released its much-anticipated followup to 2006's St. Elsewhere (just in time to get the hype rolling for some summer jams), now we get news that Messrs. Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse are playing the Highline Ballroom on April 10. Yes, that's one week from today! [On Sale: Friday, April 4 at noon]
So R.E.M. is making a comeback, huh. They've got a new album, a new look and a new tour with Modest Mouse and Brooklyn it-band The National, which comes to MSG on June 19. [On Sale: Saturday, April 5 at noon] read more »
The Week in Music: Another Slam Dunk for Gnarls Barkley? Jack White Has Friends (But No One Cares About Them)
The original release date for Gnarls Barkley's second album, The Odd Couple, was April 8. But the creative partnership of Cee-Lo Green and Danger Mouse has always marched to the beat of its own drum machines; they pushed up the date a couple weeks at the last minute. We were certainly curious whether the new record would provide a clear follow-up to the pop smash "Crazy"; it doesn't, even if "Run" (listen below) captures the unbridled fun of Outkast's popular dance track "Bombs Over Baghdad." EW labeled the new album "dense," but "a compulsively listenable, if somber, effort." Sounds good to me.
