New Album-Broken Bells


Broken Bells-Broken Bells

This new side project of James Mercer (of the Shins) and Danger Mouse (of Gnarls Barkley) is just too good to not talk about. I love Danger Mouse and I love the Shins. The two amazing musicians started working together after the failed David Lynch/Danger Mouse/Sparklehorse project. I say failed, only because Columbia would not let Danger Mouse produce anything with his name on it. I thought the album was amazing...perhaps #51 in my 'Best of' for last year. So, learning from his past mistakes, Broken Bells is released on Columbia. There is a strong possibility the two will continue to work together in the future. So, hopefully this is not a one shot side project like Ugly Casanova or The Postal Service. We want more!!! Here's a vid from their first concert ever just a few nights ago.
