Superstar team up Broken Bells have made a track from their new album available as a free download. Collaboration seems to be the latest trend in the upper echelons of the music scene. From The Dead Weather to Them Crooked Vultures it seems that everyone's at it, from new stars to established rock heavyweights. Renowned hip hop producer Danger Mouse is better equipped to deal with this than most. The sonic soundsmith has made a career out of working with other artists, hitting paydirt with Gnarls Barkley. Recently forced to shelve an all star project, Danger Mouse has now confirmed details of a new album. Teaming up with James Mercer from The Shins the pair have begun crafting exciting new material. Bringing together to questing yet deeply opposed artists, Broken Bells unites hip hop and rock, dancefloor beats with expert songcraft. The duo are set to release their self-titled album on March 8th. Anticipation is high amongst fans, with The Shins currently cresting a wave of success, leading the way in the Stateside indie boom. Speaking to the NME Danger Mouse revealed that recording sessions were remarkably natural. "It was very easy. We didn’t put any pressure on ourselves so there was nothing we trying to achieve or could fall short of, and we work together really, really well. We did it all together, it was all in the same studio, with couple of great engineers." Now Broken Bells have chosen to preview their debut album with a free download. 'The High Road' is available from the duo's official website - but be quick, the track is only live for 24 hours. Broken Bells are due to release their debut album on March 8th.
Indie icon Pete Doherty was arrested yesterday (December 21st) in court shortly after facing other criminal charges. Oh Pete. The one time Libertine turned solo star is still capable of producing stunning music, such as his recent solo album 'Grace / Wastelands'. However the singer has matched this with a unique knack for finding trouble. This year alone Pete Doherty has spent more time in police custody than he would wish for, with the singer being arrested twice in one week. Facing charges of driving under the influence, the singer appeared in Gloucester Crown Court yesterday (December 21st). Ordered to pay 2,050 in fines Pete Doherty was also banned from driving for 18 months. Astonishingly, Pete Doherty was re-arrested minutes afterwards. A police officer nabbed the singer's collar before he had even left the building, this time on suspicion of possessing an illegal substance. According to the singer was walking into court when a clingfilm wrap thought to contain drugs fell out of his pocket. An onlooker describes how Pete Doherty was being frisked when the incident occurred. "He was being frisked by a security officer and when he emptied his pockets a clingfilm wrap fell out," the onlooker said. "The security man picked it up and saw it contained what looked like little blue crystals. The security man phoned the police and about six officers came over and waited to arrest Doherty when his case was over."
Manchester songwriter Morrissey has previewed his autobiography with a new section about Saddleworth Moor - linked to the Moors Murders. Morrissey is a deeply Northern personality. With his dour exterior seemingly drenched in Manchester rain, the singer's lyrics speak of growing up in decaying post-industrial towns amid working class grit. Profoundly enigmatic, the singer has recently hinted at the possibility of writing an autobiography. Having previously released books on The New York Dolls and 50s B-movie stars, Morrissey is no stranger to prose. However this could represent an unusual step for the famously secretive singer. Morrissey recently claimed he was yet to finish the proposed tome, but has now confirmed the release of the first excerpt from the book. An essay written by Morrissey titled 'The Bleak Moor Lies' appeared in the new book 'The Dark Monarch: Magic & Modernity in British Art', published by Tate St Ives. A work of fiction, the story finds a groups of friends travelling to Saddleworth Moor. Located in the South Pennines the windswept moor became infamous as the location of a series of burials linked to the so-called Moors Murderers. Ian Brady and Myra Hindley used the site as a burial ground for children they had killed. The infamous case haunted a generation of Northern children, with Morrissey growing up in its immediate aftermath. Morrissey previously recalled the murders in the early Smiths song 'Suffer Little Children'. In his essay, the singer asks: "How many unfortunates have Saddleworth Moor as their resting place?" Edited by Michael Bracewell, Martin Clark and Alun Rowlands, the book also includes contributions from Jon Savage and Damien Hirst.
