New Music Tuesday: Sleigh Bells

It's Tuesday, so do you know what that means? Why, it's New Music Tuesday! And today was yet another hard decision. Feel free to head over to Hello May! to see all the albums that were released today.

But the album you should give a spin today is Treats by Sleigh Bells.

Made up of guitarist Derek Miller and singer Alexis Krauss, the duo make urgent, grungy, dance pop.

The album itself is quick (the entire minute count is only 32:05), but I loved every second of it. With thumping drums, crazy guitar licks, and Alexis Krauss’ vocals, I didn't want anything else in the world. Thank you, because this is what noise rock is supposed to sound like.

Treats is just a whole lot of fun to listen to. It will certainly be the soundtrack to my summer, windows-down, music going on the car stereo.

And once again, thanks to NPR, you can stream Treats in it's entirety here.

And don't worry, your speakers will be ok, they just sound like they might implode...
