On my flight home from Italy a couple weeks ago, I was bored with the in-flight movies (Alice in Wonderland isn't as good on a tiny screen without 3D effects). I changed to the music channels and found a new collaboration between two artists I like. Danger Mouse (Grey album- mix of Jay-Z's The Black Album and The Beatles The White Album) meets James Mercer (lead singer, guitar for The Shins) to make the best kind of bells- Broken Bells.
I can't get over how much I'm digging this band. The Shins are one of my favorite bands, and this self-titled album is like an edgier, electronic-infused version of The Shins. Since the plane, I've been listening to the album on The Hype Machine. I'm keeping my eyes peeled at the record stores for this gem.
Some cool tracks to listen for:
The High Road
The Ghost Inside
Vaporize
