“I feel like dynamite, I feel like dying tonight…”
Sleigh Bells – comprised of producer/guitarist Derek Miller and singer Alexis Krauss – have returned to shred on just-announced their sixth album, Texis, set for release on September 10, 2021 (Mom + Pop Music).
The first single from the record “Locust Laced” — “a classic slice of Sleigh Bells’ signature controlled chaos that has made them one of the most exciting bands of the last decade.”
A video for the song, directed by Miller and Kills Birds’ Nina Ljeti, features Krauss as a classic country starlet come undone, “a perfect complement to the song’s one-two punch of raucous guitar lines and Krauss’s high-octane, anthemic, shout-along chorus,” explains the press release.
Pre-order Sleigh Bells Texis here. Digital and CD versions of the album will be available September 10, 2021, and vinyl will ship on or around February 18, 2022.
Send me an angel of death…
