With its stomp-stomp-clap beat and shouty lyrics, the noise-makers that are Alexis Krauss and Derek Miller are definitely back, with the first track, "Bitter Rivals," off forthcoming album Bitter Rivals due out October 8th via Mom + Pop. The music video was made in conjunction with The Creators Project and directed by Sleigh Bells themselves.
Krauss is in punchy fighting spirit, donning a leopard print boxing gown, shadow-boxing and shuffling her way through the lyrics, while Miller is happy to headbang. Safe to say, they look like they're having a ball. Welcome back.
