Sound of the Week
Sleigh Bells
Sleigh Bells, a fairly new band in the indie scene, was formed in 2008 in Brooklyn. The duo is comprised of Allison Krauss (vocals) and Derek Miller (beat production, songwriting, guitar). Genre? I call it Noise Pop, others call it DancePop (NOT my words). Their debut album “Treats” came out this month. Give these videos a whirl, let me know what you think.
