I’m in love.

DJ Danger Mouse and James Mercer (lead singer and guitarist of The Shins) came together after meeting at a music festival in 2004 to create the wonderband that is “Broken Bells”. The above album, released in March 2010, is the first masterpiece they’ve produced together and I’m loving it. Danger Mouse (real name Brian Burton) calls the album “melodic but experimental”. My question: What could be better?

Mercer has already hinted in interviews that work is being done on a second album. I can’t wait to see how these two evolve together. Stay tuned.
