Broken Bells

I don’t usually discover new music on the radio. New music often comes in the form of an iChat transfer from a friend (or ex-gf, whatever the case may be).  Last week was no exception, I heard the little IM “pop” and accepted the transfer for “The High Road” by Broken Bells.   Turns out, “Broken Bells” is the new collaborative project created by Danger Mouse and  James mercer (The Shins). And it’s amazing.

It’s kinda been at the top of my holiday playlist, so I thought I’d pass it along.

I can neither confirm nor deny that the album, set to be released in March, has been leaked in its entirety. For this reason, I can’t confirm that it too is also amaaazing.
