Sleigh Bells are back! The duo comprised of producer/guitarist Derek Miller and singer Alexis Krauss have returned with new music for the first time in three years, a song entitled “Wanna Start A Band?”
Stream “Wanna Start A Band?” below, via Mom+Pop Music.
The band shared a statement via a press release about their return:
In 2008 while eating at a restaurant in Brooklyn with my mom, our server, Derek, wasted very little time asking me, essentially, “Wanna Start A Band?” Hard to believe that almost 17 years later we are still hyped and obsessively making records together. Derek started messing with the riff for this song around 2014 — it needed a lot of work but a spark was there. We had a band by then but didn’t know how long it would last. For us, this song is a reminder of how we started but it’s also the first part of a new story we want to tell — more on that very soon! We hope you will come along for the ride. Love, Alexis + Derek
Sleigh Bells are also announcing today that they’ll be hitting the road this year for a North American tour from May to June. Tickets are on sale this Friday January 31st — buy tickets HERE. — Check out the tour routing below.
