Sleigh Bells Treats

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[With] noise that's friendly and cute, primitivism that masks pop smarts and respect for tradition, from New Wave to Sixties rock."
"Monumentally caustic but hypothetically a dance band, Sleigh Bells sculpt infectious double-dutch funk..."
"[With] primitive guitar fuzz, pastiche beats, [and] sugar-buzz vocals..." -- Grade: A-
Ranked #46 in Uncut's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2010" -- "Their debut planted saccharine buzzpop melodies behind a wall of noise..."
"At the vocal helm is Alexis Krauss, who employs a fierceness close to Veruca Salt's Nina Gordon on the stripped-down punk stomp 'Infinity Guitars.'"
Ranked #2 in Alternative Press's "10 Essential Albums of 2010" -- "[O]verflowing with distorted dance beats, sparse but brutal guitar riffs and Krauss' minimalist vocals..."
Billboard (p.28) - "[T]he track 'Rill Rill' leaves room to breathe -- Krauss' voice is unusually sweet over easygoing guitar and slow-jam snaps."
4 stars out of 5 -- "As eclectic pop visions go, Sleigh Bells' one is pretty impressive....A thrilling ride."
Pitchfork (Website) - "They gather up bits from all over and use them to create music that puts you squarely in the present moment....The music hits so hard, and in such a satisfying way, and it seems designed to bring you back to the totality of the sound."
Clash (Magazine) - "Sleigh Bells' sound is jaw-droppingly fresh..."
