Broken Bells (self-titled)

"Indie-rock duo Broken Bells are the fused talents of the multi-faceted Shins frontman/guitarist James Mercer and producer/songwriter Brian Burton, a.k.a. Danger Mouse of Gnarls Barkley and DangerDoom. Their live action is graced by Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band's Nate Walcott and Nik Freitas, with Hella ex-pats Jonathan Hischke and Dan Elkan rounding out the lineup. The Los Angeles-based outfit debuted in 2009, and launched their freshman full-length in 2010, a sophomore EP in 2011, along with a sprinkling of singles. Collective collaborations include Beck, Gorillaz and The Black Keys" (Phil Ramone and Danielle Evin, "Dog Ears Music," Huffington Post, 10/12/12).
