How did Executive Producer Danger Mouse approach creating the album?
On KPCC’s radio show The Frame, Danger Mouse explains,
I got with Sam Cohen who I’ve been working with a lot and there was this idea of: What if we did the whole album and we produced it like a couple of old school producers, and we just got the session musicians in, made the songs and got the artists that we wanted to sing on them and did it all really quickly. The only thing is, we only had about three-and-a-half weeks to do it. So we did three songs in just a few hours one night and it sounded great. Then I took one of those songs,“A Taste of Honey,” and emailed it over to James Mercer from The Shins, who I work with in Broken Bells. I said, Hey I’m doing this thing. We thought about you on this song. He sent it back in a day and I had a demo right there that you could see was going to completely work. We went back to [the series producers] and said, We can do this. And we did about 15 more songs in about four days — just the backing tracks.
