This is a self-titled debut album from a new band, but the band's members are seasoned veterans. The duo consists of James Mercer of The Shins and Brian Burton AKA Danger Mouse. This accounts for the album's masterful composition. There is a futuristic soft rock element to this work. It is described as "space rock" by some critics, in fact the video for the single "The Ghost Inside" is about a woman traveling through space in a time where civilian space travel is commonplace. Mercer is the primary singer and has a voice that was pretty much made for this brand of indie alternative rock. Both Mercer and Burton, however, are responsible for production and all the writing. It is the Dangermouse influence that makes this record much more computerized instrumentally than The Shins. Lyrically, the album tells stories respective to each track, and is interesting if examined. If unexamined, it just sounds good anyway.
