Sleigh Bells - Bitter Rivals


After a week of speculation, Sleigh Bells delivered the goods.  Not only did they announce a new single and album, the latter of which is set for a release date of October 8, but a spectacular music video is already up and so are the tour dates.  Bitter Rivals is the title of the duo's third record and its title track is leading the pack.  Everything about the song screams "Slay Bells".  The vocals have that slight R&B/pop taste that Alexis Krauss talked about and the music is a bit more Treats than Reign Of Terror.  I'm loving every moment of it.

The full album is available for pre-order on clear vinyl right now, so you can grab that here, and then check out the tour dates listed below.  They'll be playing with Doldrums (!!!) this time around, except for the odd Danny Brown New York finale.
