Dark Night of the Soul

David Lynch simply never ceases to create.

Dark Night of the Soul is a compilation of songs written by Danger Mouse and Sparklehouse, with various guest singers including Iggy Pop, Julian Casablancas (the Strokes), James Mercer (the Shins), Scott Spillane (Neutral Milk Hotel), Frank Black (the Pixies) and even David Lynch himself, along with many others.

As far as I know, there is a bit of a dispute between Danger Mouse and EMI over releasing the actual album. Originally, the album was supposed to come with a book filled with photographs taken by David Lynch. However, there is speculation that EMI might not let the actual album be released. Instead, they have allowed a blank cd to be distributed with each order of the book, along with a free poster.

EMI has not released any specifics as to why such a disupte is taking place.
