James Mercer and Danger Mouse first came together to form Broken Bells in 2010. I thought that it was an odd pairing at the time. But they delivered two strong albums in 2010 and 2014. Eight years later, they're back with Into The Blue. Playing with space and textures in new and intriguing ways, their sound feels fully realized for the first time and make this their strongest and best album to date. Into The Blue has been on high rotation for me all year and has become a favorite of mine.
