Though it's already made its way to the Internet, one of the year's most talked-about albums may never be officially released. The questions keeping Dark Night of the Soul from coming out are as mysterious as the music. The Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse project with David Lynch is the perfect marriage of joy and sorrow.
()The South Carolina band Sparklehorse has built a sizeable indie-rock following for their sad, strangely beautiful and sometimes just strange tunes. Their new album, Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain, finds Sparklehorse indulging their talent for oddball prettiness -- and brighten up a bit.
