Gnarls Barkley Give Away “The Odd Couple” In Reverse

4/17/08, 4:25 pm EST

This piece should have been called “esreveR nI elpuoC ddO ehT yawA eviG yelkraB slranG. Gnarls Barkley’s The Odd Couple just became odder. Danger Mouse and Cee-Lo have inexplicably posted their new album as a free download. One thing, though: it’s backwards. Starting with album closer “A Little Better,” elpuoC ddO ehT features reversed vocals and backwards beats all in one thirty-eight-minute-long track. While sounding like the soundtrack for a film about Satanists, Danger Mouse’s production still shines through, deemphasizing Cee-Lo’s voice and putting the instrumentation more in the forefront. Download the thing for yourself here.

its very, very easy (if a little time consuming) to dump the download into a wave editor, reverse it (so that it now plays forwards) and then split into individual tracks, so you’ve got the album for free. however, having done this, i wouldn’t recommend it- its still a load of sh*te.

Just one point, THERE’S NO F*CKING LYRICS! IT’S JUST THE BACKING TRACK!

Who in the hell is Throbbing Gristle?

It’s VITO Corleone, not Guido.

first of all, in response to “The Intl”:

it should be “?kcuf a sevig ohw”

second of all, this is genius/beyond bizarre. i wish it was split into individual tracks though.
“run” sounds terrific.

Looks like Gnarls ate Felix and Oscar for dinner!

Throbbing Gristle did this same thing in 1977 when they re-released their first album after the initial copies sold out.
