Description by OLDIES.com:

Broken Bells is: The Shins' James Mercer & Danger Mouse.

Entertainment Reviews:

Rolling Stone - p.64

4 stars out of 5 -- "Danger Mouse pushes Mercer's gorgeous, existential tunecraft outward with Day-Glo dynamics."

Spin

"The phantasmagoric 'Sailing to Nowhere' perfectly fuses their sensibilities....And 'Mongrel Heart' is a fascinating refraction of Burton's obsession with film scores."

Entertainment Weekly - p.69

"Burton builds layered, twilit soundscapes for Mercer's pensive musings..." -- Grade: B+
Billboard - "The new album's opener, 'The High Road,' revs to life with the sputter of what sounds like an arsenal of vintage keyboards, while shivery film-score strings coat Mercer's sad-guy croon on 'Citizen.'"
Paste (magazine) (p.65) - "Mercer's vocals sound looser than usual against these careful backgrounds, whether leading a falsetto chorus on 'The Ghost Inside' or alternating between pinched filter and husky chorus on 'Sailing to Nowhere.'"
Pitchfork (Website) - "[I]t hits its marks....It's a deceptively catchy album centered on personal loss."
