Broken Bells

In November 2013, Broken Bells showcased their track "Holding On for Life" in a live performance at the Guardian's studio in London. At this point, they were riding high on the success of their second album, "After the Disco," which was released in early 2014. This album marked an evolution in their sound, exploring themes of isolation and enlightenment, often wrapped in dreamy electro-pop textures. The choice of a live setting for this recording reflects the duo's commitment to captivating audiences beyond the studio. Known for their unique blend of indie rock and experimental sounds, James Mercer and Danger Mouse have often created music that feels both intimate and expansive, drawing listeners into their cosmic explorations. Fun fact: their chemistry on stage is palpable, a true testament to their creative partnership, effortlessly blending Mercer’s poignant lyrics with Danger Mouse’s intricate production.
