Testing...testing...1-2-3...
First, there was music.
Then, there was Brooklyn indie-electro pop-rock (otherwise known as "noise pop").
So many syllables. So much awesomeness.
Noise pop, defined: a genre that mixes "punk rock's attitude" with the "atonal" sounds, feedback, and loose to "free" structure of noise music, presented in a "pop context." Personally, I'd never even known noise pop was a genre. Apparently, our old favs The Jesus and Mary Chain launched it back in the mid-80s. Folks are still trying to prove that heavy drug use is 100% behind the genre itself.
So, in a nice segue from the feedback entry I gave you yesterday, here is music that's fucking BUILT on feedback. I give you: Sleigh Bells.
Sleigh Bells originally formed in 2008. Miller and Krauss - the male and female parts of the band, respectively - combined their music backgrounds (him, hardcore, her, pop) to make the now M.I.A.-signed dynamite pack Sleigh Bells. They released their first album, "Treats," last week. Honestly, this the best whole album I've listened to since "Tragic Kingdom" from No Doubt back in '95 (and that kicked off an entire ska revival nation-wide).
