Dark Night of the Soul 4:40 Runtime 91:41 Size 135.90 Release Notes: Though Dark Night of the Soul ù a collaboration featuring songs written and produced by Danger Mouse and SparklehorseÆs Mark Linkous accompanied by David Lynch's photography ù was supposed to come out in 2009, a legal dispute between Danger Mouse and EMI delayed its release by over a year. By the time Dark Night officially saw the light of day, Linkous and another of the projectÆs players, singer/songwriter Vic Chesnutt, were dead. This could have cast a morbid shadow over the entire enterprise, but at its best, the album is a tribute to the collaborative spirit of everyone involved. After working with Danger Mouse on SparklehorseÆs 2006 album Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain, Linkous reunited with the producer to work on a set of songs that he didnÆt feel comfortable singing himself, so they recruited an A-list crew of singers to provide vocals and lyrics. While all the guest performers give a lot of themselves ù you can hear the genesis of Broken Bells in James Mercer's ôInsane Lullabyö and Suzanne VegaÆs ôMan Who Played Godö is as breezily bittersweet as one of her own songs ù the melodies are indelibly Linkous'. Even with other peopleÆs words on top of them, theyÆre alternately plaintive and whimsical, raging against an engulfing darkness or laughing at it all. Dark Night of the Soul's best moments feature artists most attuned to Linkous' vibe: Wayne Coyne's ôRevengeö is an inspired fusion of LinkousÆ dead-of-night ballads and the Flaming LipsÆ philosophizing (ôOnce we become the things we dread/ThereÆs no way to stopö). Grandaddy's Jason Lytle is a perfect match for the fragile, spacy Americana of ôJaykubö and "Everytime IÆm with Youö and Chesnutt ù perhaps Linkous' most kindred spirit here ù heightens Sparklehorse's occasional Southern Gothic bleakness on the nightmarish waltz ôGrim Augury.ö Meanwhile, Lynch's ôStar Eyes (I CanÆt Catch It)" is a beautiful and unexpected highlight, his Midwestern drawl providing a poignant contrast to his abstract lyrics. Interestingly, the singers interpreting the noisy, harsh side of Linkous' music donÆt fare as well: Black Francis' ambitious punk-noir-electro hybrid ôAngelÆs Harpö is too jarring, and while Iggy Pop's ôPainö could be seen as musical ipecac, his punk purging doesnÆt have the vulnerability that Linkous brought to even his heaviest songs. He takes the lead on only one track here, the deceptively gentle ôDaddyÆs Gone,ö where he sings ôDonÆt delay/Because people decay.ö Despite the delay, Dark Night of the Soul shows what a talent and what a generous collaborator we lost in Mark Linkous.
