Danger Mouse

CD of the Week - Little Broken Hearts

5.10.12 at 6:00am by Corny O'Connell

Little Broken Hearts teams Norah Jones' sultry vocals with the production expertise of Danger Mouse (Gnarls Barkley, the Black Keys, Broken Bells). Danger Mouse (aka Brian Burton) called upon Jones last year to sing on Rome, an homage to classic Italian film score music that also featured Jack White. Norah and Danger Mouse hit it off so well that they decided to collaborate on Little Broken Hearts. For the first time Norah went into the studio without any songs in hand. The two co-wrote all of the songs on the album while they were recording.

Broken Bells - Words and Music - 2010

The Shins' James Mercer and Brian Burton (producer/DJ Danger Mouse) new band Broken Bells, only has two people, so it might be a stretch to call them an indie rock super group. However, in a recent interview with WFUV's Alisa Ali, they said that even with all their other projects like Gnarls Barkley and The Shins, putting together their self-titled debut has been among their favorite musical projects.
