Broken Bells

As I posted earlier James Mercer and DJ Danger Mouse's side project titled Broken Bells was released earier this month. I have some time to review this album and I'm very impressed. At first I thought it would be quite similar to The Shins, however, it very different. I guess that's what happens when you bring the genius that is Danger Mouse into the studio with you.

I've picked a few tracks of my favorite tracks from the High Road LP for you to sample. The first is The Ghost Inside. You can definitely feel the hip hop influences but they work perfectly with the voice of the Shins to tell the story of a modern love.


The first single The High Road sounds more like classic Shins
