I enjoyed the poo poo out of Sleigh Bells' last album, Treats, and their new one, Reign of Terror is set to hit on Tuesday.

It feels like they're taking it in a new direction compared to their first album, and so far I really like it despite some apprehension by other fans. Two singles released so far are Born to Lose, which I felt was kind of meh, and Comeback Kid which is really energetic and more akin to the feel of their first album.

I saw them in Jacksonville the day after you posted this and Alexis was wearing that Life Guard Florida shirt from the video along with the same shorts. She brought some guy up on stage at the end of their set and traded it to him for a white shirt with a full color print of an orca leaping out of the ocean. That was pretty cool.

Edit: I love Architecture in Helsinki(My Absolute Favorite Band ever since I heard their first album), The Shins, Modest Mouse, Belle And Sebastian, The Decemberists, Los Campesinos!, and The xx, and 69 Love Songs, off the top of my head. Any recommendations for similar sounds?

I actually asked a very similar question a while ago and the recommendations I got and really liked were Fight Like Apes (definitely my favourite), Japandroids, The Mae Shi and Johnny Foreigner. I was also recommended early danananananaykroyd, attack! attack! and tubelord but haven't gotten time to check them out yet.

I took the advice from earlier on Fight Like Apes and Johnny Foreigner and loved them both.

Other Twee stuff you might be into: Architecture in Helsinki's second and third album(the first Is way more low key and the latest is much more poppy)
