A two person band of glory, Sleigh Bells, is made up of Derek on guitars (who is also responsible for those catchy beats & songwriting) and Miss Alexis Krauss' voice. Last year CMJ named them one of the 'undeniable breakout groups of the year' and their tunes have totally infected my brain. Their first official single, 'Tell Em, , is part of their May 11th debut album, Treats, which is being released by none other than MIA's label NEET. They've been hitting the festival scene hard this year, with Coachella under their belt & Pitchfork festival coming up. Make sure to watch for their LP with the most open of ears.
In the mean time, you can also get to downloading 4 of their tracks now via Stereogum because believe me, you'll want on this train - its a dance-duo of amazingness.
