Amplified: Broken Bells

The story behind the unlikely collaboration between James Mercer of the Shins and the producer Danger Mouse.

Great group. James Mercer is brilliant, and I could swear everything Danger Mouse touches becomes gold.

Thank goodness for a Houston radio station having a really strong signal. Otherwise the likelihood of me ever having the pleasure of hearing any of this music or even about the forming of these two, would have been slim to none. I feel as if I am already late as it is. I have only heard " The High Road" a few times and the station never would say the name of the song or who the artist was, until tonight! I googled it and ended up on youtube. I think you guys sound wonderful together.

@LightK44 LOL...he does totally look like him. Man, I love the Shins and have been waiting for something new from James - this collaboration is so good! I have the album now and can't stop listening to it. Nice to see people not afraid to make the music they want and that lots of people are waiting to hear.

Awesome music!!!!

Both are very intelligent and articulate when they speak. Compare that to actor interviews where you constantly hear annoying interjections.

@LightK44 Kevin Spacey is a very accomplished singer and musician. He tours regularly and has done a bio movie as a singer

[@LightK44]
