Review: Gnarls Barkley St. Elsewhere (or) your mom goes to college

While Charles Barkley was known to many as “the round mound of rebound,” this Barkley is something altogether different. Gnarls Barkley is a unique collaboration between rapper (and Goodie Mob member) Cee-Lo Green and DJ/producer extrordinaire Danger Mouse (who recently produced the Gorillaz album Demon Days. The above picture of them dressed as Napoleon & Pedro is hilarious. You can view it uncropped on their myspace page.

While the first single “Crazy” is set for release on April 10, it has been floating around the internet for months now. The accompanying album entitled St. Elsewhere will hit stores on May 2 in the US. Needless to say many people (myself included) are very excited. You can also hear Gnarls’ take on the Violent Femmes classic “Gone Daddy Gone.” You can catch this dynamic duo this summer at both Coachella and Lollapalooza.
