Dark Night of the Soul = Danger Mouse + Mark Linkous + whole host of music wonders

The blog world is a-buzz this morning with cryptic details of a new project called Dark Night of The Soul. This was previously a working title for a collaboration between Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse’s Mark Linkous. However, a photo teaser (shown above) has found itself popping through the mail of certain U.S. writers…

Whilst it might be styled like a movie poster, there’s an insistance that it IS an album, and will be due in the summer.

For those of you who can’t read the poster, the project includes this mouthwatering array of talent:
Black Francis (Frank Black of the Pixies)
Julian Casablancas (The Strokes)
Vic Chestnutt
The Flaming Lips
Film auteur David Lynch
Jason Lytle (Grandaddy)
James Mercer (The Shins)
Nina Persson (The Cardigans/A Camp)
Iggy Pop
Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals/Neon Neon)
Suzanne Vega

Let the waiting begin…
