Featured Release This Week From Karen O And Danger Mouse + Tracks Top 30 Playlist

facebook.com/officialkareno

Karen O is a powerful (both visually and sonically) vocalist, and she has fronted the band Yeah Yeah Yeahs since 2000.  She has also done solo projects and collaborated with some interesting people, gravitating toward the artier side of indie rock.  Brian Burton (aka Danger Mouse) has been a part of Gnarls Barkley, Broken Bells and Danger Doom, and has worked with many others as a respected producer, musician and songwriter.  Karen O and Danger Mouse met in 2007, discussed working together, and finally got serious about it in 2015.  The project has come to fruition with the new album "Lux Prima."  Last month, "Lux Prima" was announced to the world in a big way, when Spike Jonze directed a live music video of the single "Woman".
