Broken Bells...not the Liberty

     Danger Mouse has done it again as he, Brian Burton and James Mercer, lead singer for the The Shins, have come together to provide quite a fantastic album.  The self titled duo and album, Broken Bells, delivers an album that's hard to put into a specific genre of music and you're better off not trying to.  You get tastes of pop, soul, rock, r&b, electronic and it comes together divinely.   From the first song all the way through the 11 songs, you will not hit skip.  You'll find a couple favorites but i'm sure it's easier to just let it play.  We're all familiar with Burton's musical tastes due to him being one half of Gnarls Barkley and producing those great albums.  He continues his eclectic production and James Mercer is a perfect fit for these awesome soundscapes.  Great album for the spring and summer, the King rules this is a must listen.
