Brooklyn based duo, Derek Miller and Alexis Krauss go by the name Sleigh Bells. Miller, ex-guitarist of Poison the Well, and Krauss, a 5th grade school teacher and ex-member of teenpop group Rubyblue, blend their pasts into one coherent sound. Their music constantly bounces between the heavy chords and beats of Miller’s background and the pop hooks of Krauss’. Although it is worthwhile to compare Sleigh Bells to The Kills, I doubt that Alexis Krauss will fuck up and join a Jack White super-group like Alison Mosshart. At least let’s hope not.
