Broken Bells, 'Tough Set of Judges -- Vaporize' -- Video Premiere
- Posted on Mar 10th 2010 11:00AM by Mike Ayers
Every good business runs focus groups these days -- you always want to be one step ahead of your consumer. And for Broken Bells, the delightful duo of Danger Mouse (Gnarls Barkley) and James Mercer (the Shins), they tested out their new self-titled album on a set of truly fresh, young ears. Last week, we saw the results of the lead single 'The High Road,' which received passing marks from three out of the four judges. That means that 75 percent of the panel think they were on to something. Not too shabby. But that leaves nine tracks still up for scrutiny and next up, 'Vaporize,' the album's soulful, acoustic guitar-driven second track. In this new video, it seems that the song's organs throw the kids -- who think Mercer and Danger Mouse are label reps -- for a loop, causing Danger Mouse to sip on something, possibly to calm his nerves from the pending criticism. Watch the video below to see if 'Vaporize' gets another passing grade.

I love the song Vaporize but why was it recorded so 'hot'?
After the instrumentation kicks in it distorts terribly and is barely listenable. It's like that on their MySpace stream too. It is definitely not my setup, it can rock The Who Live at Leeds at high volume and hold up. I'm not the only one who noticed this on their copy either.
I dropped it in Audacity to have a look and the peaks are just too hot, it's in the recording.

I downloaded the free single (the high road) by chance, It turned out to be my finest musical move in a long while. I am a long term fan of the Shins and have a great interest in electronic music as I am a member of Dub Federation. I went on to buy the album, again, another fantastic find. A perfect blend of melody, both electronic and analogue. I want more please. Thank you.
