Sleigh Bells have a lot of a hype to live up to, they released their debut 'Treats' last week - thankfully they have managed to release a solid album and show a lot of potential whilst still retaining the fresh and unique sound they had been labelled with. Treats is a mixed bag of heavy rock, electro, noise pop and distorted grime will leave you wanting more. Tell 'Em shows this from the arse with a relentless beat that demands your attention. Rill Rill is a beautiful pop song, much softer than many of the tracks and almost perfect, whilst A/B Machines will be repeating in your head for weeks.
If you've not heard Sleigh Bells before, do yourself a favour and check them out. They might not be your thing but I guarantee if you like them this album will be very firmly rooted in your 'Best of 2010' list - it will mine.
They play the lovely Lexington on 9th August - Sold Out I think. More dates to come I am sure.
