It's The Return of Sleigh (fucking) Bells!

Can you believe it's been three years since we heard from Sleigh Bells? That ends tomorrow with the release of their sixth album, Bunky Bunny Birthday Boy!

Back in January the duo teased with an early release off of the up coming new album "Wanna Start a Band." The single's deep riffs, catchy hooks & front woman Alexis Krauss's signature, contrast, soft-touch vocals are a call back to their roots.

The sound that has come to be famliarized as Sleigh Bells since their 2008 debut: fast and loud with some sugar and plenty of spice is back! The track tells the story of how the duo met and formed all those years ago in New York when singer Kruass waited on guitarist Derek E. Miller when he asked her the track title question (and the rest is history).

All of the press photos and videos so far for the reurn of Sleigh Bells are filled with bright, bold, bursts of color and glossy trinkets, candy and vibrant imagery. Seeing their latest lewk is like looking at a David La Chapelle photo and what's not to love about that?
It's fresh, it's fun, it's in your face. 

These noise-poppers also annouced a slew of North America tour dates! They hit the road on May 7th at The Cresent Ballroom in Arizona and will slay shows around the country until mid June.
