Broken Bells gets ready to release a follow-up to their successful self-titled debut album. It's titled After the Disco and is set for a February 4th release.
Broken Bells is an American indie rock band composed of artist-producer Brian Burton (better known as Danger Mouse) and James Mercer, the lead vocalist and guitarist for the indie rock band The Shins. Broken Bells compose and create as a duo, but are joined by a full band on tour. The live band included Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band sidemen Nate Walcott and Nik Freitas, and Jonathan Hischke and Dan Elkan, both ex-members of Hella.
Their self-titled debut album has sold over 400,000 copies domestically, putting the album at #7 on the Billboard 200 and #1 on iTunes. The album has received positive reviews. Rolling Stone magazine gave it a 4 star review and stated that it was “the year’s coolest left field pop disc.” Besides their album being among the year’s highest charting debut albums, the band had sold out gigs on their first ever tour.

Technically not leaked.
I find myself on this page a lot lately…
Me too! Could there be a relation between the amount of visits and the diminishing amount of days for this album to come out?
I’m the same. Has sheer frustration due to seeing that “NO” set in with any of you yet?
Yes, every freaking time I’m back on here!
come on, come on, come on!!!
Less than two weeks why is this not leaking
Arrawarrgh graa! Arrrarroowwrrerr! Y u no leak?!?!
While we wait, I highly, highly recommend you download the “Control (Midnight Mix)” from Amazon. It’s free.
I’d give the link but I don’t know if that’s allowed even for legal downloads?
You’re allowed to link to Amazon.
Ah, that’s fine then.

The problem is that apparently only those inside the UK can get it.
Are we seriously this close without a leak?
Like all the February 4th albums have leaked apart from this and it’s driving me nuts.
I’m so mad about this not leaking yet I might not download it when it does to protest.
This has been pushed back, well promoted, and is not leaking at all. Torture.
If nothing happens this week then the internet has failed us.
Hahaha I’m glad I’m not the only one freaking out/constantly checking this page/dying for this album.
Haha, been here more times today than I care to admit, even to myself.
New song: “Leave it Alone”

Thanks, hopefully the rest will follow very soon!
I’m pretty sure they’ll stream the entire album on Itunes soon.
Hopefully tomorrow. iTunes Ireland & Germany have their release day set as Friday so, 4 more days at the most.
New teaser, this time for “Control”:

Full album is available to stream through iTunes now guys.
The wait is FINALLY over!!! It’s officially streaming via iTunes. Everyone enjoy!!!!
I’m lovin’ it so far. Surpassing expectations
“The Changing Lights” Live version posted above is far superior to the album version.
Apart from that, great album!!!
I was stoked forever for this album and it totally surpassed any expectation I had of it. It’s definitely going to be one of the best albums of this year and were not even a month in to 2014 yet!
THIS ALBUM IS EVERYTHING I WANTED IT TO BE AND MORE!!!!!!! <3
