New Broken Bells video - 'The High Road'

Real talk? One of our most eagerly awaited arrivals of 2010 is the Broken Bells record from Dangermouse and James Mercer. The collab crazy beat conductor has teamed up with The Shins frontman for a project that's somehow fresh and classically cool despite the fact that both these guys have been around for a minute.

First single "The High Road" is a kind of world-weary jazzy, pop, folk ballad that glides along synths and cymbals. Video above, Download below.

Broken Bells is out March 9.
