If you've read/heard anything recently about the Brooklyn- based duo Sleigh Bells and their debut album, Treats, you've undoubtedly read good things. M.I.A. is raving about them (well, they're on her label but still), Rolling Stone Magazine loves them, Pitchfork can't get enough, and of equal importance (obviously), neither can I. Shit, this album is literally incredible from start to finish. Tracks like "Tell 'Em", "Run The Heart" and "Riot Rhythm" are brilliantly mixed, have really catchy beats and do really experimental and interesting things with the guitar and vocals, but that really goes for just about every song. If you do one thing over this beautiful holiday weekend, it shouldn't be attending barbeques or going out with your friends. No. It really needs to be buying this album if you don't already have it and joining the rest of us in praising one of the best new bands out there. You won't regret the purchase, trust me.
