Broken Bells – First Listen from NPR
Today’s work soundtrack has been Broken Bells from NPR’s Exclusive First Listen series; all I can say is WOW! I’m only half way through and this release is amazing. Listen to it now! http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=124018401
Broken Bells is the collaborative effort from Brian Burton, better known as Danger Mouse from Gnarls Barkley and The Grey Album fame, and James Mercer, front man of The Shins. A better match has not been made in the history of collaboration… Okay, maybe I’m over exaggerating, but the result of these two getting together has been nothing short of incredible.
Vibrant soundscapes, haunting vocals and all around imaginative production are the hallmark of every track I’ve heard thus far. I don’t remember the last time I’ve been this excited about a new music release. I love it.
