Sleigh Bells: Jessica Rabbit Special Edition (Colored Vinyl) Vinyl LP+7 Discount

After a chance encouter in 2008 at a Williamsburg restaurant, Alexis Krauss and Derek Edward Miller formed Sleigh Bells and quickly churned out three albums: Treats, Reign of Terror, and Bitter Rivals. For their first album in about 3 years, Krauss and Miller took their time, and although the loud, compression-heavy noise pop is still very much at the core of Jessica Rabbit, they expand their sound further, incorporating more synths and electronic programming. Also, more importantly, Krauss vocals take a central position on the 14 tracks, as the two shar songwriting duties about equally. As a result, various mood shifts, tempo changes, and bold, forward-thinking approaches embellish their sound; check the super catchy I Can t Stand You Anymore, or the opener It s Just Us Now, which surprises with sudden changes in meter. Crucible is also undeniable, and the chilled-out (relatively speaking) Hyper Dark also presents interesting melodies, booming low-end work, and a memorable hook. This is the special edition red marble vinyl, single sided 7 of Champions of unrestricted Beauty, a new song that premiered before the album release.
