VJ Samsonite's "Hot New Music" song of the day is....

...Mongrel Heart, by American indie-rock-electro band the Broken Bells. That's right, I actually have something from an American group on here, (holy craplola!) so few and far in between these days, its almost like America is stuck perpetually in 2004 or something, never to change again or allow fresh new creative energy to flow, unless you count Pop and Pop-Hop. Back to the band of mention, the Broken Bells consist of artist/producer Danger Mouse (aka Brian Burton), and James Mercer (also lead-singer and guitarist for Portland (OR) based group The Shins. Now, I haven't had the chance to really sit down and listen to this album, but I am impressed with this song and what I have heard by them thus far. Mongrel Heart comes off of their one and only studio album by the same name. They certainly have a unique sound and this song blends together many elements of music which seems to be the go these days. Definitely check this band out. AHHHH!
