One of the most exciting things you can stumble upon these days in the music world is an amazing collaboration, and even more exhilarating is a band that combines two incredibly different sounds into one masterpiece. Such is the case with the new band Broken Bells: a collaboration between James Mercer, the lead singer of The Shins, and Brian Burton, formally known as the producer Danger Mouse. Combining the epic voice from Chutes Too Narrow and the producer who mixed the legendary Grey Album (Jay-Z's Black Album and The Beatles' White Album) obviously sounds like it could not go wrong - but not only does it succeed, it surpassed all my expectations. The album is not even out yet, but their first release, The High Road, is just short of incredible. Check out their first single below, buy the album on March 9th, and once you fall in love after listening to this one track GO TO THEIR SHOWS in NY on the 10th and LA on the 14th!
