Dark Night Of The Soul: "Revenge"

The backstory to this Sparklehorse/DangerMouse collaboration has been talked about enough as of late. I'm not going to bother with it here. If you're really interested, you can google it. But I did want to post the first song off of said collaboration. It's called "Revenge" and features vox by Wayne Coyne (of the Flaming Lips fame). The song (lyrically, melodically, and production-wise) is pretty lugubrious. When combined with Coyne's unaffected delivery, it's misery becomes mesmerizing.

(sidenote: the off-kilter drums at 3.55 are excellent)
