The funny thing about Sleigh Bells is that they seem to time new material to the exact moment when I feel like I need it. And, my god, it’s felt like I needed it for the last year and a half, but I really REALLY needed “Locust Laced” this week. Badly. The band has actually dialed up the noise for this track, giving you pure sonic catharsis. I’ve played this song ever so loudly too many times this week. God bless Sleigh Bells.
“Locust Laced” is out now in all the usual places. It’s the first track off “Texis,” their latest full-length album which is sliding into your ears on September 10th. Also, make sure you and your community get vaccinated ASAP because I really need a Sleigh Bells show with a mass of sweaty people and I’ll be damned if the anti-vaxxer community forces these shows to get pushed.
