Trivia

Interesting facts about The Ghost Inside. By Songfacts.

Broken Bells is the self-titled debut album from Grammy-winning artist producer Brian Burton (aka Danger Mouse) and James Mercer, who is best known as the founder, principle songwriter and frontman of the Shins.


This song is different to anything Mercer had done vocally before. He told The Sun February 19, 2010: "I sing in a falsetto for the first time. Brian just encouraged me to experiment." Burton added: "We'd already done a lot of the songs by that point. He'd tried a lot of things vocally and it sounded a bit like the Bee Gees. That's how I heard it - like a psychedelic Bee Gees."


Christina Hendricks, who plays Joan Holloway in the acclaimed TV series Mad Men, stars as a "beautiful android" in the song's music video. Mercer explained the collaboration to Entertainment Weekly:"We assumed we would ask and that'd be it. She's got to be so busy, and who the hell are we? But she said yes! Turns out she's a fan of our record."
