“Treats, the debut album from the electro-rock duo Sleigh Bells, is a thrill ride: It’s aggressive but not macho and smart without losing its sense of fun. Most of all, it’s somehow both an aural assault and a piece of pop candy, albeit one in a overblown wrapper.” – NPR

The percussion can be a bit much at times, but the sound is most definitely fresh (unlike my constant use of 80s slang).

“Treats” will be released May 11th.
