New Tunes Tuesday. Round 1. Broken Bells.

in addition to dirty New England rock, hippie love ballads and electronic, er... love ballads, i'm totally digging Danger Mouse's latest project - Broken Bells. Danger Mouse, best known for The Grey Album, work on Beck's Modern Guilt, and with Sparklehorse on Dark Night of the Soul, has come back out on the scene in late December of 2009 with his debut collaboration with The Shins frontman James Mercer.

here's the latest single, The High Road, from their self-titled album Broken Bells. spacey intro, eerily catchy melody, exploratory electronica, a dash of harpsichord, and a very enticing vocal performance by Mercer.

half of the album is out now with the full deal to be released mid-March. hopefully this isn't the last album we'll hear from them.

(and check out another one of my so-far favorites from the album, Vaporize)
