what about them i'm all about them

i have this really annoying habit where i'll listen to an album, or worse, a particular song on repeat and kill it. just slaughter it to death. then i can't listen to the album/song for months or in some cases years.

oddly enough, the debut lp, treats, from the brooklyn duo sleigh bells has managed to completely debilitate my obsessive habit. don't get me wrong, i love listening to this album. singer, alexis krauss and guitarist/producer, derek miller are your own personal cheerleaders. cheerleaders with heavy guitars and microkorgs. walking down the street is so much more fun with these guys in your earphones. they are a little bit pop, a little bit hardcore and a whole lot of awesome. but they're also totally crazy and listening to this album more than a couple of times a day will produce the same results as over-caffenation.

i am completely and 100% behind this album - just don't say I didn't warn you. i recommend the song rill rill first, to ease you in and once you're ready you should listen to rhythm riot.
