Broken Bells – The High Road
by Chris Hardwick on January 14, 2010
What would a collaboration between The Shins’ James Mercer and Danger Mouse sound like? THIS. It would sound exactly like this. And that is GOOD.
Pitchfork reported on this way back in September of aught 9 but only just today was I fortunate enough to stumble upon the cherubic music-baby of these two talented chaps.
Broken Bells’ full album will be captured by me when it is released March 9th.
Dude…..I too am snatching this up when it is released…trippy cool…
good song. it won’t make it main stream, it doesn’t have radio value (should only be played on a good quality system). And it’s not catchy…
but then, if that’s not what you’re looking to do… who cares. based on this song i would go see them in concert.
can’t wait for march! broken bells is for sure going to be my new favorite band
looove the high road!
It’s very good. Thanks Chris.
Heard ‘em on NPRs All Songs podcast and yeah. Slapped on the calendar. It will be mine!
Sounds great. One to watch out for.
