New York based Sleigh Bells are a noise-pop duo whose outlandish debut album brought a sense of harmonious strut to common stagnant static of the genre. Now they back with their second album “Reign of Terror”. It is basically the same hasty sound of their first album with some slight tweaks. The guitar work of Derek Miller is outstanding and the overall sound and creation is much 'polished' but the firing up, loud 'noise' is still there together with the Alexis Krauss' syrupy singing. Reign of Terror is more darker than it's predecessor and while never pulling off the rather brilliant uniqueness of their previous effort, it represents a mix up in the direction of a new sound. The great thing about them is that they don't take themselves too seriously. And that is destined as a compliment of the highest order.
