I heard this band this morning at 10am on NPR. I have not stopped listening to everything I can get my hands on. I cannot wait to get home and put it on my computer.
this is so compelling, after i heard this song i locked myself in my room with my guitar and pirated copies of acid and audiomulch for a weekend. i cant produce anything that doesnt sound like just a reject ringtone. hats off!
This band is a sick pleasure to listen to. This song in particular reminds me of the loud mysticism of My Bloody Valentine. They're coming around next month and I think I'm there....:)
Alexis Krauss & Derek Miller totally kill! in a matter of minutes I have too fallen hard for this band. Thank you Derek for making something cool and new. but... I do still miss poison the well.. :(
sleigh bells is so fucking intoxcicating, this is some of the best shit i've heard and so unique, you just gotta love it, GET TREATS FOR SURE!!! this cd has some of the best beats ive heard...album of the year imo!
@darsvedder No, he just took this song and rapped over it. That was the whole point of those two mixtapes. Its funny, cause two of my favorite tracks from I Am Just a Rapper are the ones where he raps over Sleigh Bells.
@SatyrVision Wow. These guys sure like to sample, don't they? The Cure is one of my favorite bands, and I didn't realize they borrowed anything from "Close to Me." I'm annoyed by that.
@redheadontheroad Too bad RU-vid doesn't require people to take an IQ test before posting comments, imagine how much more pleasant the comment sections would be to read.
They must have a shitload of Royalties. Between ripping off the Cure in this one, and Rill Rill sounding EXACTLY like one of my favorite Funkadelic songs, idk how they're gonna make any money off this album if they're gonna have to give it back to the artists with more longevity that they sampled.
i like how youtube handles things. if youve posted a lot of comments in quick succession, they ask you to type in a code. underneath the box, it asks you, "Can't Read?" Nice. Even illiterates can get in on the action.
Look, people. You don't have to like it. I, for one, think Sleigh Bells is really awesome. This video isn't the best quality of audio, go listen to their CMJ performance and their album in full before you start throwing the words "fucking die" around.
These two seriously need to step up their live show; the guitarist is too busy looking cool to play with some sense of precision and they rely waaay too much on pre-recorded material. It is great to capture the sound of the studio recordings when you successfully re-create them, but it clearly sounds a bit odd live. Check out live clips of Infinity Guitar andyou will hear how far they take it; at times it sounds like she is singing over full vocal tracks yanked from an ipod.
must get boring playing that one note over and over "hey I was thinking, maybe i could you know play a different note to fill the time between playing this one.. no? ok you're the boss baby doll" that's how shit would hit the floor
