gnarls barkley - the odd couple
Atlantic Records
The multiplatinum success of 2006’s “St. Elsewhere” should not have been a surprise to anyone, given the creative genius of its architects. The Odd Couple like St. Elsewhere follows no musical blueprint as Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse weave their way through various genres and decades with uncanny ease. Catchy melodies mixed with lyrics on love, depression and partying never sounded so good and so fresh. Gems like the punchy “Charity Case” and the heartbreak digi-ballad “No Time Soon,” showcase the harmonious cohesion that has made Gnarls Barkley click so well. The Odd Couple proves that these two quirky musicians haven’t missed a step on their second go-round. -gavin philip godfrey
