This is your Daily 2% – Chilled and Ready to Serve. We will try to bring you one “chill” track every day. This is for when you get home and you are trying to unwind. You reach for that glass of wine or that unlit Black & Mild or maybe you reach for something more herbal. This track is for those times. We will try to bring you at least one a day. We are just your milkmen and I’m here to make a delivery. Chill…..

Today’s delivery is brought to you by Danger Mouse, Sparklehorse, and David Lynch. A while back we talked a little bit about the project that Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse had worked on. The album they did together is called Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse Present: Dark Night of the Soul but was never officially released due to some conflicts with the record labels. The album was of course released on the internet and there are some places you can stream or download the album. Its a shame that it didn’t get the release and exposure that it deserves because it contains such a great mix of music with amazing production. The track i’m bringing to you today features the vocals of James Mercer David Lynch (director) and its a great little chilled out track with some glitchy background noises. Check out the track and relax because this is a “no heart attack” zone….

A week ago we posted that the album “Dark Night of the Soul” may never be released due to legal disputes. The album is produced by the legendary Danger Mouse(1/2 of Gnarls Barkley). Written by Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse. The album features many artists including: James Mercer of The Shins, The Flaming Lips, Gruff Rhys of Super Furry Animals, Jason Lytle of Grandaddy, Julian Casablancas of The Strokes, Frank Black of the Pixies, Iggy Pop, Nina Persson of The Cardigans, Suzanne Vega, Vic Chesnutt, David Lynch (legendary director), and Scott Spillane of Neutral Milk Hotel and The Gerbils.

You may be wondering why the director David Lynch is involved in the project. He has produced a 100+ page book that would be released with the album. It is said to to a visual representation of the album and it is limited to only 5000 copies.

The album’s release would definitely be worth the wait but right now there are legal disputes on whether or not the album will even be released. But luckily, you are able to stream the album off of NPR’s website in its entirety. The album is a step above anything thats being released right now and hopefully it it will be released some day soon but for now we have to settle for what we can get. Check out the link below to listen. You will be blown away!
