Release Notes:

Danger Mouse, aka Brian Burton, produced the
infamous 'Grey Album', a full-length blend of the
Beatles music and Jay-Z's raps that became a cult
classic after it was suppressed by EMI. He recently
garnered a Grammy nomination for Producer of the
Year for his work with the "virtual band" Gorillaz.
Having recorded with enigmatic rapper MF DOOM, not
to mention a cast of voices from "Adult Swim",
Danger Mouse is no stranger to outsized characters.
He admits that he helped out with St. Elsewhere, the
first album credited to Gnarls Barkley. "A lot of
people ask me about him," says Danger Mouse when the
topic arises. "He found one of my Pelican City
records, which was this downtempo experimental stuff
I did in college, and I started getting letters from
him. He's not (Blur frontman and Gorillaz
co-creator) Damon Albarn – I can blow that myth out
of the water for you. A lot of people think he lives
in South Carolina. Personally, I think you'd be more
likely to find him in Europe."
Cee-Lo Green, aka Thomas Calloway, is a Dungeon
Family alumnus, once-and-future member of Goodie Mob
and a wildly eclectic solo artist. His music is
steeped in the gospel and blues traditions of the
Southeast, merging timeless soul with experimental
funk and hip hop. He confirms reports that his
dramatic voice and soul-rummaging lyrics appear on
portions of St. Elsewhere. "Yes, I believe that I
sang on at least some of the Gnarls Barkley record,"
he says. "But we are not the same person. I am
Cee-Lo. I am a humble trumpet, and the wind of God
blows through me. You might consider Gnarls the spit
valve on the trumpet, were you inclined to consider
him at all." As he walked away, Cee-Lo could be
heard to mutter, "You want to know who he is? He’s
the dude who owes me thirty-five dollars, that’s who
he is."
Does 'St. Elsewhere' shed light on this mysterious
personage, or does it further obscure him? It's a
complex record, to be sure. It employs the full
spectra of pop music and human emotion. The warm,
breezy single 'Crazy' and the spry finger-snapper
'Smiley Faces' recall 'Songs In The Key Of Life' and
'Good Vibrations' in equal measure. 'On Line', a
lament for the lonely and ambitious, could be a
tricked-out G-funk holdover. Often dark and
unpredictable, 'St. Elsewhere' nevertheless retains
its sense of joy throughout. Even Cee-Lo's darker
moments, his introspection on 'Necromancer', and the
chilling 'Just A Thought', on which our hero fights
off suicidal ideation, flourish in their lush, funky
surroundings. It constantly shifts its shape and
never sacrifices momentum. And it contains a mess of
contradictory clues about just who Gnarls Barkley
actually is.
Perhaps Gnarls Barkley will never fully reveal
himself. But if 'St. Elsewhere' is any indication,
his music bears Marvin Gaye's depth of feeling, Jeff
Buckley's emotive theatrics, and wild courage not
seen since Prince's prime. Behold the most exciting
debut of 2006. A psychedelic soul masterpiece.
Gnarls Barkley may not be easily located, but he
won't be a stranger.
"You are the best. You are the worst. You are
average. Your love is a part of you. You try to give
it away because you cannot bear its radiance, but
you cannot separate it from yourself. To understand
your fellow humans, you must understand why you give
them your love. You must realize that hate is but a
crime-ridden subdivision of love. You must reclaim
what you never lost. You must take leave of your
sanity, and yet be fully responsible for your
actions." -Gnarls Barkley, in a letter to the
legendary rock critic Lester Bangs.
