Sleigh Bells is an American duo formed in 2008, featuring vocalist Alexis Krauss and guitarist/producer Derek Miller. Their sound blends elements of noise pop, punk, and electro, characterized by explosive guitar riffs, pounding beats, and infectious melodies. The band gained widespread attention with their debut album Treats (2010), a high-energy mix of distortion and pop hooks, highlighted by the breakout track "Rill Rill." Following Treats, their sophomore album Reign of Terror (2012) refined their sound, incorporating darker, more personal themes while retaining their raw intensity. With Bitter Rivals (2013), they embraced a more aggressive, pop-driven approach, and their 2016 album Jessica Rabbit saw them exploring experimental textures and atmospheric production. Texis (2021) marked another shift, blending elements of early electro, new wave, and hip-hop influences. Throughout their career, Sleigh Bells has become known for their high-energy live shows and genre-defying sound, pushing boundaries in indie and alternative music. Their fearless approach to production and songwriting has earned them a dedicated fanbase and a lasting influence on a new generation of experimental artists.
