Ever heard of Danger Mouse?
Probably not, but most are familiar with the name Cee-lo Green who's hit song "Crazy" was produced by Danger Mouse including the album. Broken Bells is an American indie rock band featuring artist–producer Danger Mouse (billed by his real name, Brian Burton) and James Mercer, the lead vocalist and guitarist for the Portland indie rock band The Shins.
I will say this album is for open-minded music lovers but if you enjoy a different taste of sound every once in a while, this album is for you. The sounds and tracks clearly own in its own genre and Danger Mouse's production on the melodic intro track "The High Road" to the experimental "Your Head Is On Fire" has vocals that are undeniable to one's ears.
A close cousin of mine gave me the chance to hear this album in the 12" version and I've yet to go a day without listening to it. In my opinion this is the best album of the year.
Album Release: March 9, 2010
