Wild At Heart

At the time of his recent passing, Sparklehorse mastermind Mark Linkous (briefly memorialized in an earlier post) had completed work on a collaborative project with Danger Mouse and David Lynch called Dark Night of the Soul.  After a protracted legal battle with EMI records, the record is set for (now posthumous) release on July 13 in the US.  The record is meant to be accompanied by a 100-page book of photos taken by Lynch; sadly this book was limited to 5000 copies and has sold out in its initial run.  As for the record itself, it features guest appearances from a wide range of vocalists including Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips, The Shins' James Mercer, Cardigan's lead vocalist Nina Persson, Iggy Pop, Black Francis, and David Lynch himself singing the title track.  The entire album is available for live-streaming here; we've included FP's favorite track from the record (featuring Julian Casablancas of The Strokes) below:
