Sleigh Bells – Rill Rill

Biography
Brooklyn, New York, USA (2008 – present)
In 2008, Miller was waiting tables at a neighborhood Brazilian restaurant, Miss Favela, where he encountered Alexis and her mother. When he mentioned he was looking for a female vocalist to work with on a musical project, Krauss’ mother immediately volunteered her. After steadily gaining popularity throughout 2009, Sleigh Bells signed to M.I.A.’s label N.E.E.T. in Spring 2010.
The duo released the 7-track EP Sleigh Bells. The EP received much attention and all but the last two tracks were re-recorded for their debut album.
Sleigh Bells issued the single “
Tell ‘Em” as a free download in April 2010. On 11 May 2010, they released their debut full-length album entitled Treats. Amidst blown-out drum beats, fuzzed guitars and synth-pop sensibilities, Krauss balances each song with a voice that is both forceful and elegant. Four other singles supported the album: “Crown on the Ground”, “Infinity Guitars”, “Rill Rill” and “Riot Rhythm”.Sleigh Bells began recording songs for their second studio album in June 2011. Describing the sound of the new album, Krauss said, “It sounds really huge, so there’s going to still be tons of volume”.

Can't decide if that is pure genius or just boring as fuck. In anyway that captivates my mind.

I'm obsessed with them. Treats > ROT.

I've given RoT so many chances, and I really just can't get into it. None of the songs are good to me. The production is a lot better than their debut, it's nice to hear songs that aren't peaked out, but in terms of songs themselves Treats really has the upperhand imo.

Reign of Terror is actually a better album than Treats. Better production, better song structure, less repetitive. I still love Treats but it's slowly getting moved to the back-burner.
