broken bells – the high road
when i first heard about the broken bells project, i felt as though i was chris farley reading from the zagats restaurant guide of projects that are likely to be pretty awesome. if you dont know what im talking about, do yourself a favor and view this clip. this has got to be one of my favorite chris farley characters of all times. that leg grab is priceless. anyway, if you arent aware, broken bells is the collaboration of dj extraordinaire danger mouse and james mercer of the (what i think are now defunct) shins.
at first i was a bit skeptical, knowing that this could turn out really great or really not so great. but now that weve gotten a chance to hear something from them, by way of this track “the high road”, i can definitely say that im anticipating the arrival of the rest of the album. i like the blips and bleeps at the beginning, and its for some reason making me think of becks “guero” album a bit. and then it breaks into a nice and happy outro. outros are sweet. so far so good gentlemen. im hoping danger mouse really goes hard with the effects.
buy it on 
or amazon
