Danger Mouse has a lot of projects cooking right now. Not only is the producer releasing a collaborative album with Black Thought called Cheat Codes on June 17, but additionally Broken Bells announced a new album today. His project with The Shins' James Mercer shared the single "We're Not In Orbit Yet..." and revealed that the follow-up to 2014's After the Disco is titled Into the Blue.
Mercer's ruminative vocals and Danger Mouse's sci-fi synth-rock concoction make a fitting soundtrack for woeful times. "Nothing to learn / Pages to burn / There's no real world for you to know," Mercer sings during the second verse. Broken Bells remind us here that you reap what you sow.
Listen to "We're Not In Orbit Yet..." below. Full details on Into the Blue will arrive shortly.
