Album Review: Sleigh Bells: Treats



Remember that time you were an elementary school badass? Yeah, well, apparently Sleigh Bells does. Mixing air raid guitars with bubble gum vocals might’ve been a gimmick. Instead, it’s a genre-conscious leviathan that rarely forgets its confidence. About 30 seconds of my day is spent wondering why it isn't Slay Bells.

8/10
Released May 11, 2010 on Mom & Pop Records, N.E.E.T. Records

Follows...the culture that came before it.
Turn the volume...down. It's gonna be loud anyway.
Start your own...mainstream.

Highlights:

Rill Rill: Short list for best song of the year.


Crown on the Ground: Find out who your friends really are in the initial wail before the beat.


A/B Machines: Raw and untouchable.
