Sleigh Bells on repeat
Breathlessly unrelenting from the first seconds, this song makes me feel like I was walking down a street in some post-apocalyptic foreign city and suddenly got caught in a really awesome game of guerilla laser tag. With a girl band from the Sixties.
Tell ‘Em – Sleigh Bells
Sleigh Bells is a duo from Brooklyn who were just signed to M.I.A.’s label NEET Recordings. Their debut album Treats is out this week through Mom + Pop Records. You can stream the whole thing at NPR this week; I can’t stop listening.
I am off to Mesa Verde this weekend to see the remains of rad ancient civilizations. I did a report on it once when I was a nine-year-old living in California, and I’ve been fascinated ever since by the cliff dwellings the Anasazi left behind. Now it’s driving distance away, so I found a friend and we’re off. Since it’s May and supposed to be warm and gorgeous, I borrowed my dad’s little convertible car for our long drive, but instead, we’re flirting with snow. Ah well. It’s an adventure.
Name: Heather Browne
I’m looooooving Sleigh Bells. I’ve listened to the album on NPR at least four times in the last 24 hours. And I’ve told anyone who would listen to check ‘em out, too. The NPR review mentions “aural assault” and I couldn’t agree more, it’s bombarding me, but I don’t ever want it to stop.
