Sleigh Bells and CSS May 12, 2011

Sleigh Bells

The initial meeting between Derek Miller and Alexis Krauss of Sleigh Bells sounds almost like a scene out of a movie: He was working at a Brooklyn restaurant during the summer; she, a fifth grade public school teacher, was one of his customers and by chance they started talking about music. A mere week later they were recording together and thus, Sleigh Bells were formed.

After last year’s run of critically acclaimed singles (“Knuckle Sandwich”, “Knick Knack”, “Scarred For Life”, “Learn The Language”), Brooklyn’s Mr. Dream presents its debut album TRASH HIT. It’s an ambitious rock record that marries extremes: harsh noise and catchy melodies, bizarre song structures and straight-ahead pop sensibilities. This is music unabashedly working in the tradition of some of the greatest rock acts: Buzzcocks, Pixies, Nirvana, Guided By Voices, and the Breeders. Mr. Dream picks up where those bands left off, further exploring the textures of aggressive rock music that’s unafraid to have strong hooks and thoughtful lyrics.
