Members: CeeLo Green (vocals) and Danger Mouse (production). Discography includes St. Elsewhere (2006) and The Odd Couple (2008). Signature songs include Crazy, Smiley Faces, Run (I'm a Natural Disaster), Going On, and Who’s Gonna Save My Soul.

Four DeBaser takes on Gnarls Barkley. Two reviews praise St. Elsewhere’s genre-blending and the pull of Crazy. One finds The Odd Couple darker and patchier but with gems like Who’s Gonna Save My Soul. A live festival note is openly dismissive. Across the board: inventive production, a standout voice, and plenty to debate.
