biography
The Gnarls Barkley collaboration didn't bring producer Danger Mouse to the top of the British charts for the first time, but it did mark his debut as the pilot of a hit record. Mouse, born Brian Burton, first gained the ears of discriminating listeners when he concocted The Grey Album, a bootleg that mashed the vocals from The Black Album by Jay-Z with music samples courtesy of The White Album by EMI flagship the Beatles. Although the label posted a cease-and-desist order, one of their employees, Damon Albarn of Blur and Gorillaz, was one of the impressed, and he hired Burton to create the beats for the second Gorillaz album, Demon Days. Just one year later, Danger Mouse was back in the charts with another collaboration project, Gnarls Barkley, with singer Cee-Lo Green (a solo artist and former member of Atlanta's Goodie Mob). The pair had met in Atlanta in the late '90s, and began recording together around the time of a 2003 DM record titled Ghetto Pop Life. A few recordings were passed around and played by many associated with the pair, and eventually one of the leaked tracks, "Crazy," became a hot property for the download market. It became the first single vaulted to the top of the British charts by digital distribution, and the resulting album, St. Elsewhere, peaked at number one on the album charts. A follow-up was not long in coming; The Odd Couple dropped in early 2008. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide

Revolutionarily Unique.

- One of my favorite groups of late. A rapper from the ATL and a British DJ/producer combine to form something so revolutionary that it defies description. It's fresh, emotional, envoking, inviting, impulsive, and well... genius.
If you're at least slightly interested, don't wait. Enter the musical world of Gnarls Barkley, lose yourself, and find your soul. When your done, catch a live show and do it all over again. THEN check out Janelle Monáe! - 1 out of 1 people

MindBlowin The Under Statement

- To me the Lyrics on Cee-lo are the words of the Beatles. Time-less, with meaning and such thought. You feel every word, every line and you feel you can connect with this man on so many levels like he's in your head or was there when it happen, telling your story for you. To me the best song "Who's going to save my soul now". Just to sit and vibe. You feel it. with your eyes close you can actually see it unfold in your head. The same goes for every other song on both the CD's.
DJ Danger Mouse is one of the greats. To me every sound he uses has it's place, it's not cookie cutter. It's his own that no one will or could ever match. He's a truly under estimated producer. Him getting togeher with Cee-lo was like peanut-butter and Jelly. I know this might not make since to anyone wholes never listened to Gnarls Barkley, this might even be a little drawn out, but listen and you'll understand and agree. - 2 out of 2 people

- The lyrical content of Cee-lo has always made my wheels turning in the past but now he has surpassed all expectations of taking it to the next level! St. Elsewhere ( Song) it paints a picture in vivid colors and mind reacions..
