The High Road - Broken Bells

Broken BellsCause they know, so do I,
The high road is hard to find,
A detour in your new life,
Tell all of your friends goodbye.


Broken Bells consists of Danger Mouse and James Mercer, a pair many were not expecting to see collaborating. James Mercer is well known as front man of The Shins while Danger Mouse, or Brian Burton, is one half of Gnarls Barkley. They came together in 2008 and almost two years later a self-titled album is set for release March 9th, 2010. The contrast in past musical styles of both artists has created a rich multilayered sound that is hard to categorize.

When Burton was asked to describe the kind of music he produced, he responded with, "Is this rock? Is it soul? Is it something else? I don't know, but I do know we did something great." This perfectly describes my feelings for this album. Look for its much anticipated release next week.
