Description

With their needles-in-the-red 2010 debut, Treats, Sleigh Bells proved themselves capable of making a terrific noise. On their upcoming new album, Reign of Terror, due February 14 on Mom + Pop, the crunchingly melodic duo wanted to show they were capable of more. Sleigh Bells will air the new tunes on a February tour in Miller's home state of Florida, where they'll share stages with superstar producer-DJ Diplo and black-metal bliss-makers Liturgy. The band is pumped for the opportunity to bring some sonic balance to its set. "We're going to have a more dynamic show than we did before," says Krauss. "Bludgeoning audiences for 35 minutes is wonderful, but it's nice to now have some song that are really beautiful to break up the cacophonous moments."

Performers

Sleigh Bells

The discordant Brooklyn dancepop duo Sleigh Bells. The band came together when songwriter and producer Derek Miller, a veteran of Florida hardcore warriors Poison the Well, hooked up with singer Alexis Krauss, who spent time in the teenpop group RubyBlue before becoming a teacher at a Bronx public school.

Sleigh Bells tracks like the BNM'ed "Crown on the Ground" have bits and pieces in common with Poison the Well's punishing growl and RubyBlue's sunburst chirp, but they occupy aesthetic ground miles removed from both. Miller pushes all the levels into the red, so the duo's fun synth rave-ups become way blurrier and more intense than you'd expect, while Krauss grounds everything with cool sass. It's quite a package.
