Yes, it really is as unique of an album release as it sounds.

Ever since DJ Danger Mouse released The Grey Album (a mix of Jay-Z’s Black album and The Beatles White Album) cease and desist letters have been sent to anyone that tried to host the files of The Grey Album for anyone to download.Ever since this release, Danger Mouse has not been able to release any music because of legal issues from label EMI for releasing The Grey Album.

Danger Mouse’s new album however will not contain any music.  It will be a blank CD.

Yes…

A blank CD is what you will get, along with album artwork that would normally accompany any CD.  Apparantely, we are to use the blank cd “as we will” to get his new album.

Danger Mouse had this to say:

Danger Mouse’s new project Dark Night Of The Soul consists of an album length piece of music by Danger Mouse, Sparklehorse and a host of guest vocalists, along with a collection of original David Lynch photography inspired by and based on the music.

The photographs, which provide a visual narrative for the music, are compiled in a limited edition, hand numbered 100+ page book which will now come with a blank, recordable CD-R. All copies will be clearly labeled: ‘For Legal Reasons, enclosed CD-R contains no music. Use it as you will.’

Due to an ongoing dispute with EMI, Danger Mouse is unable to release the recorded music for Dark Night Of The Soul without fear of being sued by EMI.

Danger Mouse remains hugely proud of Dark Night Of The Soul and hopes that people lucky enough to hear the music, by whatever means, are as excited by it as he is.

Here’s to you Danger Mouse.  The Address hopes you can get a good amount of sales, and stick it to the label at the same time.  Good Luck.
