Brian Burton was born in White Plains, New York, spent much of his childhood in Spring Valley, New York and lived in Athens, Georgia for a long time where his electronica work under the name Pelican City was released. From 1998 to 2003 Burton created a series of remix CDs and records under the stage name Danger Mouse (inspired by the British cartoon series Dangermouse).
Burton's first original releases under the name Danger Mouse were his collaborations with rapper Jemini, including the album Ghetto Pop Life, released in 2003 on Lex Records. While the Danger Mouse debut was well received by critics, he did not rise to fame until he created The Grey Album, mixing an a cappella version of Jay Z's The Black Album over beats crafted from samples of The Beatles' White Album. The Grey Album also got Danger Mouse the attention of Damon Albarn, who tracked him down to produce the Gorillaz' second studio album, Demon Days (much to the dismay of Gorillaz' record company EMI, which also holds the rights to The Beatles' records and had previously served cease and desist orders against Danger Mouse over the use of their material on The Grey Album).
2005's Demon Days was followed by The Mouse and the Mask, an album by Danger Mouse and MF Doom about and for Adult Swim, the two had previously colaborated on the Dangermouse remix of Zero 7's "Somersault", on the Prince Po track "Social Distortion" and on the Gorillaz' "November Has Come". An animated video for the song ATHF from the collaboration has been made and shown during the late night cartoon block.
On December 8, 2005 it was announced that Danger Mouse has been nominated for a Grammy for Producer of the Year for his work in Gorillaz' Demon Days.
In 2006 Danger Mouse is set to release Gnarls Barkley, a collaboration with Cee-Lo. Several other projects, including a second album with Jemini, another collaboration of some form with Damon Albarn, a solo album, production works with Tha Alkaholiks and an unspecified project called The Jokers Daughter, have also been mentioned. Also, a collaborative album with Black Thought of The Roots is said to be in the works. |
