New EP released in a couple of weeks.

:surprised:

:dance:

I preordered the EP already :D

Here we are: http://www.nme.com/news/broken-bells/55247

 

 

The tracklisting for 'Meyrin Fields' is:

 

'Meyrin Fields'

'Windows'

'An Easy Life'

'Heartless Empire'

More Bells are good. The fact that only two of those songs are not currently available elsewhere probably indicates that they were just previously scrapped instead of being more recent, so it doesn't really shed much light on whether the band will continue.

EP has leaked.

:surprised:!

 

I shall download it when I get home.

Have an overwhelming adoration for Broken Bells, too? :D

 

Lots of people I mention this band to look at me and ask me, "who again?" And so, sadly, apparently, Broken Bells is a little bit small-known. If you are one of those who has never heard of them or who doesn't really know who they are, let me tell you a bit about them...

 

1. They are an Indie American band

2. You may have heard their song "The High Road"

3. The lead singer of BB is also the lead singer of the band "The Shins"

and 4. I encourage all CP lovers and just all human beings in general to check out this amazing band, who is my 4th most favourite band of ALL time, only after Radiohead, Muse, and the one and only CP themselves.

 

Broken Bells is Indie, and therefore a quite unique band. Their style of music is very different and the lead singer's voice is very unique and captivating. :D Some of my fav songs of theirs include: "Sailing to Nowhere," "October," "Citizen," "Vaporize," and 'The High Road." :lol:

Or, if you have heard of this awesome band, what was the first song of theirs you heard which sucked you in?? :D

To anyone who may be confused...I made this thread above not knowing there was already a Broken Bells Thread made and it got merged. Just didn't want anyone to think "what the heck?!" ;) But yeah, I LOVE Broken Bells!! :D

I feel their album was thoroughly underappreciated. It's something I can go back to time and time again.

Gonna be interesting to see how the new Shins album turns out with a new line up and James Mercer having worked with Danger Mouse.

If you missed it last week, another new song:

I like this a lot more than "Holding on for Life".

The "Holding on for Life" video felt somewhat incomplete. Maybe I just didn't get it.

I'm not really digging this. But maybe I'll change my opinion when I hear the album.

heard part of the album. having trouble getting the whole thing. i love it so far.

currently listening to the remains of rock and roll and its brilliant

favorite so far is perfect world.

wow, thanks

 

there are touring quite bit this year

Caught their Jimmy Kimmel performance the other night, they only did 2 of the new songs and 2 old songs (which is kinda lame since most bands play like 6 songs there), but the new ones sound good live.

 

That first track on the album is absolutely killer.

Their cover of All My Loving "featuring" Ringo Starr was awesome.
