"Danger Mouse will be waiting for me, Afro intact"

The Afro awaits.


”Of course. It’s an enigma, if you will. It’s a monster. It’s a noun. It’s a person, place and thing, you know what I’m saying?” ”So when I’m emotionally able to go back in that hole in the wall, I’ll go back in there. And Danger Mouse will be waiting for me, afro intact.” Since the release of their hugely successful debut album, the two members of Gnarls Barkley have led very different careers. A celebrated producer, Danger Mouse formed one half of Broken Bells with The Shins’ James Mercer. Cee-Lo Green, meanwhile, has become an instantly recognisable pop star. Asked if there were creative differences, the singer explained that the two artists were opposites who complimented each other. ”We have an awful lot in common. He’s a very funny guy. You wouldn’t know it. He’s very smart” explained the soulful singer. ”I’ve described Danger Mouse on a few occasions as a picket fence around my garden of wildflowers, can you dig it? Makes sense.”
