Another crazy year of great new music rocks on, and we're still only in May! This time we have new tunes from Portugal. The Man for the first time in two years. Evil Friends is the 8th full length album from the psychedelic rockers and it appears they have picked up right where they left off on 20112s In the Mountain In the Cloud . The new music brings a lot of energy which can be partially attributed to the very familiar and well traveled producer, Danger Mouse . After previously working most recently with names like Beck , [...]

Hip young folkster Devendra Banhart has done some mutedly outlandish things in his time and whilst restitching some sequin glare into Taylor Dayne's Tell It To My Heart in order that it resemble a spangly psych-disco number was one of his more successful endeavours, dating porcelain bore Natalie Portman was arguably one of his lesser ventures. Lukewarm latest, What Will We Be , could probably be charted somewhere or other ambiguous in between though a preliminary glimpse into its follow-up, Mala , not only ups the calibre, but also the kookiness: Für Hildegard von Bingen is an ode [...]

The end of April/beginning of may is going to be a wonderful time for fans of super producer Brian "Danger Mouse" Burton with the upcoming release of Norah Jones' Little Broken Hearts on May 1st and the debut album Mondo by Electric Guest dropping April 24th, both produced by Burton. Fans of Danger Mouse's work, especially his band Broken Bells formed alongside The Shins ' James Mercer , will love the Los Angeles duo Electric Guest (Asa Taccone, Matthew Compton) and their recently released self titled [...]
From the opening to the closing track this is exactly the sort of album any long time fan of theirs would expect.
The Shins hit a high note with Port of Morrow, an album teeming with promise of things to come.
Being a Shins fan at this point in my life has put me in an odd position. I always prayed and hoped that the band would be more animated/more rocking in the live setting, and after last night's performance at ACL Live , it seems they've accomplished that feat; I'm just not sure if it's what I really want. I'm all for musical growth, as bands are organic beings, growing, aging, changing. The Shins have definitely gone through such changes, [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , New Music , New Releases Sub Pop "It takes awhile before we can figure this thing out and turn it back around," is a telling line in the song 'It's Only Life' from 'Port of Morrow,' the Shins ' first album since 2007. For Shins' main man James Mercer "awhile" meant five years of side-projects like Broken Bells , amusing diversions like a [...]
Prior to washing up here in the Port of Morrow, The Shins' fourth studio full-length and first to be named after Boardman, Oregon's port authority frontman James Mercer found himself at the forefront of many a musical endeavour. From catching the imagination tail of Danger Mouse and ringing them Broken Bells , to teaming up with Isaac Brock of nominally, similarly murine fame to soundtrack Chris Malloy's 180º South and furthermore engraving himself into the silver screen itself in Matt McCormick's Some Days Are Better Than Others, it remains rather safe to say that Mercer's been slacking [...]
After 2007’s Wincing the Night Away , the Grammy-nominated album that established The Shins as the latest indie darlings to crash the mainstream, the band seemed destined for even bigger things. But James Mercer had other plans, teaming up with Danger Mouse to release an album and an EP as Broken Bells, which seemed more than a side-project vamp at the time. And that’s why it’s such a delight to hear “Simple Song,” the band’s first single off the forthcoming LP Port of Morrow . It finds James Mercer embracing once more the bright, [...]
Broken Bells - Heartless Empire
Our buddy over at Twentyfourbit came across this delightful gem. Last month at a benefit for Portland, OR's Puddletown School, James Mercer along with Modest Mouse's Joe Plummer on drums played a new Shins track during their encore. Just before the song, Mercer told the audience,"We're working on a new record and this is one of the songs that should be on there." Sounds pretty catchy! I'm all for it! Wonder what else they have up their sleeves? Guess we'll have to wait and find out! Check out the video above for [...]
Después de que James Mercer -líder de The Shins - se uniera a Danger Mouse para crear el aclamado proyecto Broken Bells, el futuro para la banda casa de Mercer parecía incierto. Afortunadamente, en un concierto reciente Mercer anunció que The Shins están trabajando en un nuevo disco y tocó una nueva canción de la banda. Les dejamos el video de esta presentación para que se den una idea de lo nuevo que traerán The Shins en un futuro no muy lejano
Broken Bells' new EP is hot!
