Rotation 1
Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse, Dark Night of the Soul -
"Revenge" featuring The Flaming Lips
2010 was a very prolific year for Brian Burton (Danger Mouse). Besides teaming up with James Mercer to form Broken Bells, and offering his production talent on The Black Keys, "Tighten Up"; he and Mark Linkous (Sparklehorse) introduced
Dark Night of the Soul, a collaborative album featuring many musically influential artist.
From the album, "Revenge" has an intoxicating quality; hooking the listener in traditional Flaming Lips style with its lyrical melodic combination.
"In my mind
I have shot you and stabbed you
throught the heart
I just didn't understand
The ricochet is the second part
Cause you can't hide
What you intend
It glows in the dark
Once you've sought
The path of revenge
There is no way to stop
And the more I try to hurt you
The more it hurts me"
Rotation 2
Sufjan Stevens, The Age of Adz -
"Too Much"
There is something magical about the songs is Sufjan's latest album
The Age of Adz. Accompanied by the images of apocalyptic artist Royal Robertson, Sufjan has created an album full of sensory rich songs that transports you to an ancient society bent on the quest for eternal glory. The blending of orchestral and electronic sound strengthens the conceptual idea adding a mechanical and mystical element to the musical journey.
