When I first hear that Brian Burton a/k/a Danger Mouse and James Mercer (The Shins) were teaming up I thought 'well there's an odd pairing.' Turns out the pairing is perfect. The depth of Burton and Mercer's musical knowledge and abilities complement one another so well and are prominently on display on their debut album. The songs that work well here are fantastic. Unfortunately, a few of the songs fall a bit flat and so the album did not make my final cut.
