Album Notes & Community Reviews

The incredibly successful collaborative duo of Danger Mouse and The Shins' James Mercer leans heavily into the glossy, synthetic aesthetics of the late 1970s and early 1980s. The production seamlessly blends Mercer's distinctly melancholic vocal melodies with immaculate, retro-futuristic disco grooves and prominent horn arrangements. It acts as a sleek, highly melodic meditation on the exhaustion that follows a party's end.
