David Lynch, Iggy Pop, Gruff Rhys, members of the Strokes, the Shins, the Flaming Lips and Pixies will contribute to the next album by Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse.

Mark Linkous, the American singer-songwriter who mutters and murmurs as Sparklehorse, was last heard in 2006, on an album produced by Danger Mouse. And though neither Linkous nor Danger Mouse have announced it on their websites, their MySpace pages, in press releases or tweets, they seem to have made something new. And it sounds … well it sounds mysterious.

Earlier this week, several journalists and bloggers received a poster in the mail: “Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse present … DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL”. And then there’s the word “Featuring” and a whole lot of names.

Take a deep breath: Black Francis aka Pixies’ Frank Black, the Strokes’ Julian Casablancas, Vic Chesnutt, the Flaming Lips, Grandaddy’s Jason Lytle, the Shins’ James Mercer, the Cardigans’ Nina Persson, Iggy Pop, Super Furry Animals’ Gruff Rhys, and Suzanne Vega.

Oh yes, and “Visuals by David Lynch”.

The poster promises an album in summer 2009 and that’s all we know; a mystery wrapped in an enigma wrapped in an international advertising campaign.

Certainly both Sparklehorse and Danger Mouse are well connected. On 2006’s Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain, there were contributions from both Tom Waits and the Flaming Lips’ Steven Drozd. And since breaking through with The Grey Album, Danger Mouse has worked with everyone from Beck to Gnarls Barkley and Gorillaz.

Of course, it’s one thing to have Julian Casablancas drawl a few lyrics, and another to have one of the world’s eeriest film auteurs collaborate with visuals. David Lynch has rarely worked with any musicians besides composer Angelo Badalamenti, and although it’s still unclear what he’s done for Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse, from designing album artwork to shooting a film, he’s not exactly known for gallivanting with indie mumblers.

Then again, perhaps Dark Night of the Soul isn’t just an album. Perhaps it’s a hotel on a mysterious road that only appears on Friday the 13th, with a casino room where your subconscious mind plays roulette against Iggy Pop and members of the Shins and .. well all right, it’s probably just an album.

This one features Rob Swift running through funk breaks X-Ecutioners' style! For those of you who like the heavy turntablism influence in their breaks mixes then this one is right on track with that. Rob is always technically sound and the songs flow really well together. The beats are not all that unfamiliar for fans of this genre but sometimes familiarity is cool when it's cut up real nice. You'll also hear a track featuring a bit of an interview/ promo about the "Sound Event" CD and also a quick set from Rob in the studio in that same track. Otherwise, you're looking at breaks, a bit of hip-hop classics and plenty of turntablism.

Speech Debelle - Speech Therapy (2009)

There's a reason that Speech Debelle's debut album is called "Speech
Therapy" and that's because she speaks straight from the heart, with
complete intimacy, as if only addressing one person. As if she expects
the record never to be heard.

Perhaps in some way, that's not an unreasonable assumption. The 25 year
old South Londoner has been through the mill both before and since she
started working on this set of recordings. The oldest song on here is
called "Finish This Album". It was the tune she first played when she
visited Big Dada almost five years ago. Its theme is that she has to
hold it together, look after herself and try to get the record done, as
if the act of finishing will somehow liberate her from the problems in
her life. It's both intimate and epic, moving back and forth between
the personal and political, the mundane and the spiritual. It's a
journey acoss London and a journey across her life thus far. Speech is
both young and old beyond her years. At the age of twenty five her
fragile voice can make her sound like a teenager, but she's packed in
enough experience to last most people forever.

Definitive Jux has the extreme pleasure of announcing the
reissue of Company Flow's seminal full length debut,
Funcrusher Plus. Out of print since 2006, this certified
classic album has been remastered and will be available
worldwide!

Already ahead of its time when originally released in 1997,
Funcrusher Plus is widely recognized as one of the most
influential hip hop albums ever, shattering conventions with
its musical complexity and uncompromising lyricism.
Comprised of producer/MC El-P, MC Bigg Jus, and DJ Mr. Len,
Company Flow's music rejected the conventional hooks and
jazz/funk samples favored at the time, opting instead for
jagged, lo-fi and punishing sonics crowned with
confrontational and highly literate word-play an drhyme
patterns. The group's musical approach and legendary D-I-Y
ethic went on to influence an entire genre for the past
decade. Originally appearing as a self-released vinyl-only
EP in 1995, their music caught the attention of underground
hip hop and alternative music scenes worldwide, eventually
landing them a deal with then unknown NYC hip hop label
Rawkus Reocrds. The release of the full length on Rawkus
signified a new era in hip hop, and soon after the likes of
Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Pharoahe Monche and others followed
suit. Company Flow's attitude and urgent approach gave birth
to a movement that defined a new era within the hip hop
world.

Welcome to Bucktown, the soundtrack, was inspired by the 1975 Blaxploitation film Bucktown. The soundtrack takes the listener through modern day Bucktown, AKA Brooklyn, as coined by the rap duo Smif-N-Wessun circa 1994, and explores the evolution and current conditions through the eyes of hip-hop Brooklyn artists. General Steele proclaims “I didn’t try to copy the film or the soundtrack, but the concept and the feel of it. I was able to relate to what they where going through with the police and with their own comrades and I wanted to depict that vibe & energy with the songs and the artwork.

If any of his recent albums are any indication, Sadat X is not looking to stray too far from his socially conscious lyrics and hardcore Golden Age delivery. Brand New Bein’ features other like-minded hip hop enthusiasts such as KRS-One, Lord Jamar, Grand Puba, Craig G, C-Rayz Walz, Buckshot and Rahzel. Production on the album is completely handled by the Rocksteady Crew’s DJ JS-1 and JW.
