You never know how low an angry heart can go.
I am loving this album tremendously. Danger Mouse and James Mercer. It’s a match made in heaven. OK, let’s be honest: who could Brian Burton (the Mouse’s real name) team up with for anything but stellar results? The man is a genius. I don’t mean to take away from the success Mercer has had with The Shins. I’ve loved their albums as well. And Mercer has recently formed his own label (now counting The Shins among their talent.) Broken Bells is what happened when the two finally decided to act on their ideas of collaboration.
Walk out before you make it worse on yourself
It is so hard to explain what it is that makes this one of the best albums I have heard in a long time. It doesn’t make me cry, or dance, or yell, or stand up and fight. It’s just, GOOD. It’s just, MUSIC.
It’s every genre. It’s a sound that you know but can’t point out. I’m loving it.
Will someone measure this moment now?
I’m back again in this one-light town
I cut the tie and I don’t have to rely on nothin’ and no one.
MP3 Preview not available by request of the label… However……
The album drops on Tuesday. You need to own it.
