How about Danger Mouse? Miss him?
Well, what if they both dropped out of the sky one day and into a collaborative full length album then straight to your waiting ears?
Broken Bells new self titled is that album. A collaboration between Danger Mouse and James Mercer.
And it is scrumptious!
Lead tracks "The High Road" and "Vaporize" are its strongest songs. It does taper off at points. But overall, the album is a treat for the ears.
At times, highly electronic. At other times, it has that unmistakable guitar that seems to pop straight off of a Shins record.
This album comes just in time for those of us like myself who have been feeling musically nostalgic lately. Missing the old days, etc. I won't be like this forever, but Broken Bells delivers a massively warm shot in the arm for me. It's both new and old at once and you should definitely check them out if you're a fan of either of its contributing members.
Ok Go review to come later, but I was just sideswiped with this album yesterday and felt the need to give you a quick review.
Leave comments if you feel lead! I'd like to know that I have readers if I have em.
