Broken Bells, the collaborative project of the Shins' James Mercer and Danger Mouse, have announced a tour for March (which seems as though it could lead to the SXSW festival in Austin). Their new album After the Disco is out January 14 through Columbia. Electronic pop group Au Revoir Simone, who released their own new LP this year, will open the dates.

After the dates, watch part one of Broken Bells' new After the Disco short film, based on a story by Danger Mouse and directed by Jacob Gentry. It stars Kate Mara and Anton Yelchin.
