Hey, perfect timing. No sooner does spring begin to thaw out our creaky-ass crank-bones, crippling seasonal depression, and aversion to any music that’s louder than whisper-level-quiet, than Brooklyn-based noise pop duo of Alexis Krauss and Derek Miller (whom, you’ll recall, released their third studio album as Sleigh Bells, Bitter Rivals, last year on the Mom + Pop label) come out to deliver the goods!
They’re still promoting that same album as last year, but there’s several super-dooper jammin’ festival stops in the mix this time — including stops at SXSW, Coachella, and Firefly — as well as some boring old regular-type shows here and there. I mean… shit, did I say “boring”? No. That’s winter-talk! Everything’s going to be amazing and warm and fun and sunny and loud and brash and killer-diller from now on! Say it with me, kids! KILLER! DILLER! We got this. Killer diller.
