Fifty-word review

Broken Bells

Borrow It

The quirky sincerity and pathos of James Mercer’s (The Shins) vocals snuggle up nicely against Brian Burton’s (Danger Mouse) smiling melodies and snappy beats. For a side project turned real-live band the duo has produced an adorable debut album; holding hands but, thankfully, too shy to (over) do it.

Reminds us of The Shins | Elvis Perkins | Wilco
