Danger Mouse and Beck pair up for new album

Frantic knob-twiddler Danger Mouse is in the “early stages” of producing the new Beck album.

Already working on the new Gnarls Barkley album, as well as releases from The Black Keys, MF Doom and Martina Topley-Bird Danger Mouse, real name Brian Burton, has teamed with Beck to work on the follow-up to 2006 full-length The Information.

There’s no release date as of yet, but the reports on HARP Magazine, together with confirmation from the band’s management given to URB Magazine seem to confirm the album will arrive at some point.

He’ll have to be quick, you’d think, given how much he has on his plate.
