The Shins frontman James Mercer and Brian Burton, aka Danger Mouse, have reactivated their collaborative project, Broken Bells. Stream “Shelter”, their first new song in three years, below via Apple Music or Spotify.

Due out via Burton’s own 30th Century Records, today’s single is their first bit of material since “It’s That Talk Again”, a one-off release from 2015. The pair have been teasing a return since August, posting Instagram photos of them writing and recording together. Broken Bells’ last proper album came in 2014 with After the Disco.
