What's it called?:
Broken Bells
What It Sounds Like:
The Shins... no S Sherl, given that it is James Mercer from The Shins teaming up with Danger Mouse. Contains all the sweet melodies and warmly unfathomable lyrics with a lack of an obvious chorus that you'd expect from a Shins album. With a bigger sound backdrop. The single 'The High Road' is rightly getting good airplay and look out for the beautiful 'Citizen'.
What Does It All "Mean"?:
It seems the recent period of the leaders of great US bands* going temp-solo has reached its peak.
(* Strokes, Interpol, CYHSY, Shins)
Goes well with...:
A train journey when you are too tired to read and are closing your eyes to the sun warming the empty carriage.
Might Suit People Who Like...:
The Shins obv, Bright Eyes, Stephen Duffy, REM, mellow Moz.
