Can't wait to hear this crazy project? Fear not, NPR Music is streaming the entire album right now as part of their "Exclusive First Listen" series. Streaming begins today (May 14) at NPR.org.music.
In addition to the album, an art exhibition will run in the Los Angeles Michael Kohn Gallery from May 30 until July 11, 2009, showcasing the photographs alongside the music.
For their premiere collaboration, David Lynch and Danger Mouse have
designed a two-room installation at Michael Kohn Gallery capitalizing
on the interplay between the music from Dark Night of the Soul and the artwork David Lynch created for the album, allowing the mediums of art and music to complement one another. Fifty of Lynch's photographs are mounted on aluminum panels that seem to float on the gallery walls, reinforcing the moody rhythms of the music from Dark Night of the Soul that will play throughout the gallery. The installation encourages a fully enveloping experience that surpasses the individual visual or auditory elements.
