Broken Bells, a project consisting of Danger Mouse (the greatest producer in the business today - my humble opinion) and James Mercer (lead singer for The Shins) had my absolutely favorite album of 2010. Since this is only a 4-song EP, I wouldn't feel right to rank it among the top 10 albums, but I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone. Give a listen to the opener and title song: Meyrin Fields.
Incidentally, I have no idea what the title refers to, since the only reference I can find to Meyrin is a small town outside Geneva Switzerland, which may be it since the lyrics refer to a small, sad town.
By the way, if you never heard any of last year's eponymous debut, check out: The Ghost Inside. (Play it loud.)
