Sleigh Bells: Treats

they just sound really shticky to me. unlike Jesus + Mary Chain, or even Raveonettes, their combo sounds totally unnecessary. i'd love to hear Sleigh Bells minus distortion.

eh i think that the fact that the distortion is like lossy low kbps instead of overdriven amps is kinda novel enough to be worth a mention.

Just listening to the P4K best new track now, it is going to sound dated in about 6 months. That doesn't mean they won't make a fun summer album though.

I see no reason a band simulating what my laptop speakers sound like to be worthy of this much praise.

Wavves 2010?

rign ring

Did this ever even leak? It's out tomorrow.

Maybe not.

Twitter agrees: it's out tomorrow, and it hasn't leaked yet. Awesome.

i am looking forward to illegally downloading and listening to this album tomorrow morning

P.S.: Best New Music, 9.2

That's my guess.

Oh man I just heard that youtube of "ring ring".. I don't get what all the fuss is about. What garbage.

van smackdown

If nothing else, pretty impressive that a heavily hyped band can avoid the leak this long. Is it only out digitally tomorrow? That may explain why.

Insound & Amazon have the CD listed for June 22

Pitchfork news update from April 28 says "comes out May 11 via Mom + Pop and M.I.A.'s N.E.E.T. imprint"

The song kicks off Treats, Sleigh Bells' debut LP, which comes out May 11 via Mom + Pop and M.I.A.'s N.E.E.T. imprint.

Alright y'all, I think jon may be right:

No wonder it never leaked. If you scroll down on the main page of that Twitter account, it says it's out on iTunes tomorrow.

ugh fuck waiting until june

yah wont even be cool by then i mean

The 'Clean' version is on itunes for 6 bucks. but from what i can hear nothing is censored so maybe it was all clean anyway. good stuff thus far, although none of the new stuff beats the original six demos.

I like this game. Best New Music 8.5 -- I'll be damned if they rate it higher than The National, their fav. indie pet band of the last 3 years or so.

dudes, stop please not cool

but imagine you get it right on! what a story thatll be for your grandkids

pitchforkreviewspreviews.tumblr.com

theyll be visiting u in the nursing home or cold storage or w/e they keep old ppl in the future and theyll know that u accurately predicted the ranking of sleigh bells "treats" on the website pitchforkmedia.com to the first decimal place & no u really lived, that u took what life offered and made the best of it (xp)

6.2. Album will grow monotonous to the reviewer because it offers nothing new besides a white girl rapping and a band back-story which nobody truly cares for.

"rapping"

I'm v v excited about this and also expect it to be on this thread in five years: Looking sideways, what's the biggest bullshit, musically speaking, that you fell for in the *10s*

haha otm

album is streaming, apparently

8.9? Worth a shot.

Yeah I'm sticking with it.

32m here we go

Kids is amazing!

Production is wonderful, they cleaned up nice

GREAT GREAT GREAT

YAY YAY YAY "rill rill" is "ring ring"!

Oh, awesome.

The bells + putting two tracks of her vocals down on Rill Rill makes a sick song even better. This is amazing.

it feels strange to listen to their music not as five random mp3s

ps is anyone going to their show at ridgewood temple tonight

This blows away any "indie" release I've heard this year, for sure.

Song after "A/B Machines" brings to mind "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," if only because I don't listen to enough music--or am not aware of listening to enough music--using a flanger pedal.

Talking about the first few seconds.

Early contender for album of the year. If not that, will definitely be high up on my list.
