Review: Featuring a stellar cast of guests including Suzanne Vega, Iggy Pop, The Pixies’ Black Francis and Gruff Rhys from Super Furry Animals, Dark Night Of The Soul (Parlophone, July 12) is an ambitious collaboration between producer Danger Mouse (Gorillaz, Beck, Black Keys) and the indie-Americana darlings Sparklehorse (aka the late Mark Linkous). A beautiful, haunting record exploring dark themes such as war, death, pain and dreams, the album features contributions from director David Lynch, both in photographic imagery and in the form of two songs, as well as tracks recorded by Strokes singer Julian Casablancas and The Cardigans’ Nina Persson. And the roll call of US indie/alt.country royalty goes on: The Shins, Grandaddy, Vic Chesnutt, The Flaming Lips – you get the picture: This has the distinct feel of a project that no-one within this high-calibre peer group would have dreamed of turning down. Following Linkous’ recent death the project was delayed but is now released as a fitting memorial to the singer. Choose from a gatefold heavyweight double LP or a limited luxury vinyl box set with David Lynch photo booklet.
