Unsurprisingly, their debut as Broken Bells was a critical success, as it drew from their diverse pasts and shared loves (Pet Sounds, dream-pop, psych-rock, The Bee Gees). This year's follow-up, After the Disco, is even more dynamic and engaging, further pushing Burton's studio wizardry and Mercer's lyrical range, while adding even more hooks and memorable melodies.
But don't think of Broken Bells as merely a studio project. The duo recently stopped by KEXP, accompanied by touring band members Jon Sortland and Dan Elkan, to perform acoustic versions of three new songs — including the album's first single, "Holding On For Life."
