Danger Doom Team With Adult Swim for Free EP
Dave Maher reports:
The cartoon characters on Danger Doom's The Mouse and the Mask album were not merely window dressing; they were a crucial element of the main display. (Does that make their presence less annoying? No.) And it looks like we're going to be seeing a lot more of them real soon.
Sure, Danger Mouse has been busy with Cee-Lo setting records and touring as Gnarls Barkley (not to mention contributing to the new Sparklehorse and Rapture albums) and MF Doom has been making beats for Ghostface and working on material for a new Madvillain album as well as various solo projects, but they both have time for a little danger in their lives. And that means collaborating with the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim again on a new Danger Doom EP.
The folks at the Cartoon Network must really like their rappers, because this is the second musical collaboration of the year for the channel. As recently reported, Adult Swim is teaming up with the entire Stones Throw roster for a compilation to be released this fall. But they've upped the nerd quotient for the Danger Doom EP, which will only be available online and for a limited time.
The EP, which is untitled, will be available for free download exclusively from the Adult Swim website, with the first track, "Corn Dogs", available May 15. The rest of the nine-track EP will be unveiled slowly over the following two weeks, with the whole thing available May 30. We don't know all of the track titles right now, other than "Corn Dogs" and "Sofa King (Remix)".
Madlib will guest on the EP, which will also feature "character voices and skits from Adult Swim's popular original shows such as 'Aqua Teen Hunger Force', 'Squidbillies', and 'Minoriteam'", according to a press release. Ugh.
As for that aforementioned Gnarls Barkley tour, the duo has added a couple of new dates to their schedule, which includes a May 19 performance in London on "Later...With Jools Holland" and a May 24 appearance on "Late Night With Conan O'Brien". If they're anything like that phenomenal Top of the Pops performance, we'll pee our pants.
Does all this activity make Danger Mouse crazy?
