"The High Road" - Broken Bells

Band:  Broken Bells
Album: Broken Bells
Released: March 9, 2010
Home Town:  Los Angeles, CA
Why is it on here?:  Broken Bells is the brainchild of James Mercer (The Shins) and Brian Burton (Danger Mouse, Gnarls Barkley).  The first album, released today, sounds a lot like the Shins but with a more electronic vibe.  I haven't heard the entire record yet but will be rushing out tomorrow to pick it up.  While we are on the topic of side projects/supergroups, here are a few more that are worth checking out. 
Dead Weather - Jack White, members of Queens of the Stone Age
The Postal Service - Ben Gibbard from Death Cab for Cutie
Monsters of Folk - Connor Oberst, Jim James (My Morning Jacket), M Ward
The Raconteurs-  Jack White, Brendon Benson
