When two musical icons collaborate together on an album it can go one of two ways. Luckily for James Mercer, lead singer of the Shins and Brian Burton of Danger Mouse (also half of Gnarls Barkley), their Album is getting a ton of buzz. The Garden State soundtrack, which is arguably one of the best ever, featured two songs from The Shins and helped expose them to a much larger audience. When James Mercer took on this side project I was really looking forward to hearing a new sound from him and although it's not terribly different from his previous work, I must say I'm really enjoying this album. Specifically "The Ghost Inside" and "High Road".
make me a CD please!
