The High Road by Broken Bells
The opening track “The High Road,” a schizophrenic sonic straddle across the keyboards, winds a spacey electronic back-beat before slowing down into the calming acoustic guitar strum accompanied by Mercer’s voice to start the self titled album. As is the case on the rest of the album, slowly all the layers start to cross, a backing harmony vocal joins Mercer as the song swells with the electronic elements cascading back for a catchy introductory track.

This is a very hard track to try to define why it’s great. But I’m glued. I will be trying to perform this. It is mesmerizing…
