Rueful procrastination. I've been meaning to get my hands on this super beat mix and finally did so this week. The ipod thanked me. The Broken Bells album was all that I hoped it would be. A gigantic ball of honey-combed space candy, as noted above. I knew it would be good with ingredients like this.
Broken Bells for new comers is the collaboration of Shins front man, James Mercer and Danger Mouse, one half of the Gnarls Barkley duo. While definitively having the Mercer vocal stamp, the album otherwise seamlessly combines the talents of the two without any sharp or blaring edges. Good beats. Solid song writing. I've got the whole thing on repeat. I hope there will be more, especially after my disappointment with the last Shins album.
