There's a new supergroup collaboration! James Mercer of the Shins and producer/DJ/generally awesome man Danger Mouse (that's pretty super if you ask me) have officially announced that they will be releasing an album in March with Columbia Records after rumors had been circulating the web for a while. They will be going by the name Broken Bells. As of right now, their website is just an image of the letters that make up "Broken Bells" being spewed out and spun around and around, but on next Monday they will be posting their first single from the album.
This comes after Danger Mouse's last collaboration, which was ill-fated. It was half album, half art project, and it was a collaboration between director/artist David Lynch, Sparklehorse, and him, but when the albums finally shipped with the large art-booklet all the cds were blank and had a note "For legal reasons, enclosed CD-R contains no music. Use it as you will." The album had many great guest appearances (including James Mercer), and you can listen to all of it
here at NPR.com.
