Bishop Allen and the Broken String is the second full-length album by the indie rock group Bishop Allen. It was released on July 24, 2007.
Ten of the twelve tracks are re-workings of selections from the 12 EP project the band did in 2006.
Many uncommon instrumental arrangements are found in The Broken String, such as "Butterfly Nets" (ukulele, saxophone) or "Like Castanets" (banjo, oboe).
