Scrapped Danger Mouse Album To Finally Be Released By EMI

March 4, 2010
Scrapped Danger Mouse Album To Finally Be Released By EMIRecord Label EMI are finally set to release an album by Gnarls Barkley's Danger Mouse after settling a dispute with the producer.

'Dark Night Of The Soul', which features collaborations with Iggy Pop and Julian Casablancas, was originally due out last May.

But its release was halted by EMI because of a legal dispute, which prompted Danger Mouse to put out a blank CD-R in protest.

In a statement, EMI said: “We can confirm that EMI are working with Brian Burton AKA Danger Mouse again, and are delighted to be doing so.

“Further information on releases will follow shortly."

The producer told the BBC his issues with the record label were “in the past” and that he hoped the album would arrive in the summer.

Meanwhile, Danger Mouse is currently working with his new side-project, Broken Bells, who played their first London gig last night (March 3).
