Broken Bells, the musical partnership comprised of Brian Burton (Danger Mouse) and James Mercer, are proud to announce the release of their sophomore album, After the Disco, on January 14th, 2014 on Columbia Records. The album will be available for pre-sale tomorrow, November 5th, via iTunes. Upon preordering After the Disco, fans will receive the first single, “Holding On For Life”, which is streaming now via http://smarturl.it/HoldingOnForLife.
This announcement follows the release of the band’s prologue to their album-accompanying short film by the same name. The prologue, titled “Part One: Angel and The Fool,” can be viewed on YouTube.
Mercer and Burton recently sat down to talk with NPR’s Bob Boilen about the making of After the Disco. This interview is currently available here.
“Part One: Angel and The Fool” lays out the blueprint for a mini epic chronicling the attainment of love. The prologue introduces viewers to Oliver, a 9-to-5 ordinary Joe, who finds a spacesuit-clad Helen, the literal girl of his dreams. Fans will find themselves entranced as the storyline unfolds across subsequent installments.
