At first listen, you might think they are just a cacophony of noise. But take a second listen, and Sleigh Bells has produced some of the most in-your-face, captivating sounds of the year on their debut album, Treats. I was instantly drawn to the NYC duo's "Crown on the Ground." A song with loud shrilling guitars and throbbing beats that appear to be launching an assault straight out of your speakers, and has made me ponder what exactly does it mean to "crown on the ground?" The album goes on to deliver ten more bold tracks by counterbalancing the abrasiveness of the instruments with a playful quality in the vocals. My suggestion when listening to this album: turn the volume up, way up, so you can feel every note pound in your chest.
Notable Tracks:
2. "Kids"
3. "Riot Rhythm"
7. "Rill Rill"
8. "Crown on the Ground"
11. "Treats"
Not a real video, but at least you get the music
