Editor's note

Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse's hazy late-night collaboration

A producer and a songwriter made one quiet, textured album before Mark Linkous died.

If you want the feel of it, try 'Insane Lullaby' or 'The Man Who Played God.' They're both quiet and a little broken, which is pretty much the whole mood.

Their 2010 album 'Dark Night of the Soul' is the main thing they left behind. It's full of songs like 'Grim Augury' and 'Every Time I'm With You' that blend electronic production with Linkous's fragile voice. The whole record has this somber, layered quality that feels like their particular corner of the late 2000s.

They started with a track called 'Revenge' in 2006. Then they made the 'Dark Night of the Soul' album, which came out in 2010. Linkous died that same year, so the album became their only full statement together.

Archive material and source history

Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse was a collaboration between producer Danger Mouse and singer-songwriter Mark Linkous. They worked together in the late 2000s, with Danger Mouse coming off his work with Gnarls Barkley and Linkous continuing his Sparklehorse project. Their first track together was 'Revenge' in 2006, a song that caught some attention for its moody atmosphere.

They released an album called 'Dark Night of the Soul' in 2010, which included songs like 'Grim Augury' and 'Insane Lullaby.' The record had a somber, textured quality that fit with Linkous's earlier work. Linkous died in 2010, not long before the album came out.

That 2010 release stands as their main work together. It's a collection of hazy, sometimes melancholic tracks that blend electronic touches with Linkous's fragile vocal style. Songs like 'Every Time I'm With You' and 'The Man Who Played God' give a sense of what they were doing, quiet, layered music that doesn't rush to any obvious hooks.
