St. Elsewhere

Description

A group formed by the "prophets" of oddity and musical experimentation, Gnarls Barkley arrives like a UFO in a soul hip-hop that has become mainstream. The collaboration between Ceelo Green of Goodie Mob and producer Danger Mouse could not result in yet another classic, uninspired project. The unique voice of the soulman and the productions, navigating between psychedelia and jazzy abstract hip-hop, make this debut album a true bomb that, along with the success of "Crazy," will blow apart the codes of a stagnant American scene. - ("excerpt from the Discothèque Idéale Fnac guide")
