Dark Night of the Soul

Danger Mouse

A haunted gallery of indie-rock voices set against dusty, cinematic production. Melancholic, surreal, and deeply textured midnight music.

Find on Amazon

It's like a David Lynch movie for your ears, featuring every indie singer you've ever loved.

A beautifully haunted and surreal exploration of melancholy and existential tension.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the driving garage-rock energy of Little Girl into the fragile, skeletal beauty of Angel's Harp.
The way Vic Chesnutt's voice cracks with devastating vulnerability over the funeral-march piano of Grim Augury.
The swirling, psychedelic climax of the title track where the production finally dissolves into pure atmospheric noise.
