Sleigh Bells debut album Treats is coming out on May 11th, which isn’t that far away. I am pretty excited to hear it, and based on the massive amount of hype behind them, most of you guys are as well. For months we have only had their demo’s to keep us excited, but now we have a legit studio mp3 to obsess over until the record comes out.
The band is giving away “Tell ‘Em”, the opening jam of Treats for free on their website. The song features bomb-like effects over dirty guitar riffs that are bound to sound destructive when blasted from your speakers at the highest volume. The destructive nature of the song is contrasted by the lovely vocals of Alexis Krauss. It is a perfect combo that knows how to work their magic on you. Having M.I.A. signing them to her record label certain allowed Sleigh Bells to have optimum studio use, which certainly payed off.
Can’t wait for the rest of Treats. I called them a band to watch, and if you have been watching, you are in for quite a ride.
