Gnarls Barkley Are The Odd Couple on New LP
Why, it's another pop culture reference! To a bygone T.V. show, no less! Gnarls Barkley-- Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse's totes postmodern R&B-space-pop thing you've probably heard about-- have slapped a name on the forthcoming follow-up to 2006's St. Elsewhere, and, well, it suits them nicely. The Odd Couple, the sophomore disc from the unlikely hitmaking team, will be released in April on Downtown/Atlantic. Though the real question remains: Is Cee-Lo a Felix or an Oscar?
Gnarls and them have been lighting up the internet over the last 24 hours as a leak of presumptive lead single "Run" hit the blogs yesterday. The track appeared on missionfreak.com with a few tongue-in-cheek warnings against copping the thing ("give it a download and see if you turn into the Cowardly Lion"), and Gnarls' own MySpace bulletins have been peppered with references and links to the track. The most recent, titled "GB LEAKED", simply features a link reading "Hurry up and DIGG this before it's pulled." Whatever you say, crazy basketball player band!
In other Gnarly news, Danger Mouse recently wrapped production work on the Black Keys' Attack & Release, while Cee-Lo joined Boards of Canada in crafting Solange Knowles' next one. Billboard.com also reports that Danger Mouse is working with Tricky collaborator Martina Topley-Bird on her forthcoming album The Blue God and with a band called the Shortwave Set, who have also been lucky enough to rope in both Van Dyke Parks and John Cale as collaborators on their new LP.
