Broken Bells, 'The High Road': Watch the first video from Danger Mouse and the Shins' James Mercer

The chocolate-and-peanut-butter pair-up that is Broken Bells, the new collaboration between intrepid producer/50% Gnarls Barkler Danger Mouse (a.k.a. Brian Burton) and indie-rock archduke/Natalie Portman life-changer James Mercer, debuted its first video today, for the woozy midtempo rocker “The High Road.”

Renowned music-video director Sophie Muller (No Doubt, Coldplay, Shakira, the Killers) helms the clip, a Blue Velvet-y road trip adventure enhanced by a non-committal showgirl, a toy car, and an untethered white horse:

The duo’s self-titled debut (pre-order it here) is out March 9; will you be waiting with bells on, broken or otherwise?

    , you also have a way of not writing much on henotsimg but still getting your point accross. You don’t write just to fill space, and your histories are brief and managable. (I’m not this way at all and am jealous) You aren’t amazingly profound or the most interesting person I’ve ever read, but as blogs go you write well and keep me interested/amused for a few minutes every few days, and i appreciate that. So, go have a piece of chocolate, I like you.
