Broken Bells have announced that they will release their new album ‘After The Disco’ next year.

The brand new studio album will be released in January 2014 and will be the follow up to duo’s debut album, released in 2010. ‘Broken Bells’ featured the singles ‘The High Road’ and ‘The Ghost Inside’.

Broken Bells also released a four-track collection, called ‘Meyrin Fields’, in March 2011. Speaking in 2010 about recording the second album, James Mercer said: “We need to do another record, for sure, because we’ve got these songs we need to put out. We’ve got these songs that aren’t B-side-type stuff, definitely ones we want on a record, and we enjoy this. It’s fun.” He added: “I think [Danger Mouse] enjoys it, too. It’s so enjoyable. It’s like a vacation – although I don’t want my wife to know that! We definitely will keep working together.”
