Gnarls Barkley: St. Elsewhere
CML call number: CD/ROCK/Barkley
Chuck Klosterman wrote in the New York Times Magazine: "Gnarls Barkley is just two people: Danger Mouse ([Brian] Burton) and an Atlanta-based singer-rapper named Cee-Lo (born Thomas Calloway. But in a larger sense, Gnarls Barkley is really just one person, and that person is Burton. Cee-Lo is essential, but he's essential in the same way Diane Keaton was essential to 'Annie Hall': he is the voice that best incarnates Burton's vision, so he serves as the front man for this particular project. … Danger Mouse … wants to be the first modern rock 'n' roll auteur" (6/18/06).
Jim James of My Morning Jacket commented to Winter Miller of the Times: "Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse are right on the cusp of what is starting to unify everybody. People don't have enough in common, the world is trying to isolate us, but they're a good spiritual force and have something to say. There's something strange going on with them, and I mean that in a good way. Intricate melodies, great beats, great lyrics, these guys are hitting it all" ("Playlist," 7/2/06).
Caution: off-color language occurs on at least one track.
