Loving this very much right now. James Mercers vocals have always been so dope to me. if this is :lastweek:

shoot me.

this song is really dope. the pairing of these two is awesome.

Supposedly James Mercer basically fired the rest of The Shins and replaced them with more established musicians and there was a lot of drama over that.. which lead to him doing this more solo project with DM

Been listening to this album on repeat, Mongrel Heart and The Mall and Misery, are crucial...

What is Mongrel Heart? It doesn't appear on the tracklist.

CasOne · Post by **CasOne** » Fri Jan 22, 2010 6:16 pm

I've been playing this record a lot...It's pretty solid front to back. remixed the High road song. Gonna leak it soon.

Forgive me if this has already been discussed, couldn't find any threads on it. I only checked this because of the Dangermouse connection but this is quite excellent. It's Dangermouse and the leadsinger of the Shins, really chill, possibly my favorite non-rap album so far this year. Any other fans?

ive been bumping the SHIT out of the high road track
like 2, 3 times a day
actually burned the disc for one of the nurses here on sunday.

ackbar · Post by **ackbar** » Tue Feb 23, 2010 7:19 pm

pretty good.
i didn't think much of of the grey album, his stuff with doom, etc. so i had sort of given up on danger mouse. maybe i just don't like his production in a rap context

Tommy Bunz · Post by **Tommy Bunz** » Tue Feb 23, 2010 7:47 pm

Search function is fucking gay. I searched for "broken" and for "bells" and this thread didn't come up because Cas posted it as one word. Sorry about that.

Ackbar, have you heard the Dangermouse & Jemini album Ghetto Pop Life? Thats by far his best rap collabo. Near classic imo.

Tommy Bunz · Post by **Tommy Bunz** » Tue Feb 23, 2010 7:49 pm

Also, I've never really listened to The Shins. If I like this will I like their shit?

and ive never listened to the shins either. can anyone answer that?

ackbar · Post by **ackbar** » Tue Feb 23, 2010 8:12 pm

i have the ghetto pop life album. never got that into it

wheels · Post by **wheels** » Tue Feb 23, 2010 9:22 pm

Shins albums are wildly different, imo.

It's pretty simple acoustic pop/rock stuff. If your favorite thing about brokenbells is the vocals than you'll probably love the shins.

The record's cool, but I don't feel like anything comes close to "The High Road". It's like a trailer for a comedy where they give you all the funniest jokes and spoil the movie for you a little. You still end up liking it, but you wish you hadn't seen/ heard the good stuff out of context.
