DANGERDOOM - The Mouse & The Mask

Originally only available in Europe in limited quantities, Lex have repressed the Deluxe double vinyl LP edition of ‘The Mouse & The Mask’ for 2019.

Lex has a history of lavish packaging but this remains one of the lushest sleeves in the catalogue. Designed by EHQuestionmark, the outer sleeve is made from thick translucent textured plastic with DOOM's mask printed on the cover, and mouse ears on each side of the mask forming a pattern that looks like a Rorschach test (a technique reused in another Danger Mouse project six months later). The inner sleeves, visible through the outer at first glance pattern based on an Ishihara test, but inside the circles in the pattern are tiny icons depicting different disasters - climate change, acid rain, holy war, nuclear leaks. custom frosted plastic packaging.

Guest features from Talib Kweli, Cee Lo Green, Ghostface Killah. The album was a critical and commercial success and the iconic UK version of the vinyl designed by long-term Lex collaborator EH Questionmark has been long sought after. This reissue is presented in the exact same spec as the original double vinyl including the custom made frosted plastic outersleeve, and metallic pantone printed inner sleeves. The album also originally debuted at #2 on the Billboard independent albums chart.
