Acclaimed producer Brian Burton aka Danger Mouse and James Mercer of the The Shins reconvene for their third duo BB album in 12 years, and first since 2014, with strong, slow, unhurried, smoky numbers of thrumming indie reverberation. Tremelo guitars, meaty bass, and organ keyboards particularly dominate, and Mercer’s voice soars smoothly, and standout track is the sublime Love On The Run. But others include We’re Not In Orbit Yet …, the 60s psych-style Saturday, Forgotten Boy, which could be a soundtrack to a western, and Lennnon-esque opener and title track Into The Blue. Rich, mature, and rewarding. Out on 30th Century Records/ Aural Apothecary / AWAL.
