album:broken bells
i heard "the high road" on the radio a few times, and knew that i knew the voice. i found out that it was James mercer of the shins and that the music was dangermouse's doing, and i knew that i had to get my hands on this album immediately.
i was in Starbucks and had money to spare (i had just a few weeks before received 100 dollars in Starbucks giftcards) so i decided to pick up the album there. after i gushed to Dave the barista about how awesome the album was and how much he needed to check it out, i left and went to my car to listen.
i was stuck on this album for a few weeks straight and then that was the end of it. its catchy. its dancey. its fun. but it just didn't have the staying power i was looking for, and i found myself in my "OMG ITS SUMMER SO ITS TIME FOR POP PUNK phase."
if you decide that you want to check this album out, there are three songs that i suggest you hit up...
"the high road" was the first single, and is probably my favorite track on the album.
"the ghost inside" may have been released as a single as well, but definitely got a lot of play by me...this song turned up in most of the play lists i made over the summer.
"vaporize" has some awesome lyrics, so it stuck out to me. the chorus goes
"It's not too late
To feel a little more alive
Make our escape
Before we start to vaporize"
and was something that i absolutely identified with, especially over the summer and early fall.
this album was up there on my list of favorites from 2010, and if you are in the mood for something a bit more danceable, id suggest checking it out.
2/17
