Gnarls Barkley

Gnarls Barkley is the remarkable collaboration between DJ/producer/mash-up king Danger Mouse and psychedelic soul crooner/MC Cee-Lo, of the Atlanta hip-hop group Goodie Mob. Both refreshingly outre and delightfully accessible in the manner of Outkast's best work, the duo's first single, "Crazy," was a huge hit in the U.K. before being released state-side to similar fanfare. Gnarls Barkley's 2006 debut, ST. ELSEWHERE, also contains a truly bizarre reworking of the Violent Femmes' "Gone Daddy Gone," which perfectly exemplifies the duo's creativity and originality.
