With a new "mini-album" on the way, Sleigh Bells on Tuesday released a new single "Rainmaker."
It's the latest preview of the upcoming seven-track project, Kid Kruschev, which is out on Nov. 10 via the band's own Torn Clean label. It will arrive almost exactly a year after the duo's last full-length, Jessica Rabbit, which was released last November.
"Some of you might recognize the main synth/chord progression of ‘Rainmaker’ from the trailer we made for Reign of Terror back in 2011," producer-guitarist Derek Miller explained of the new song. "I’ve always loved those chords … only took me six years to find the right spot for them."
He added: "I’ve also been dying to sample the Soul Searchers' ‘Ashley’s Roachclip’ break, which is up there with [James Brown's] 'Funky Drummer' in my humble opinion (Miss you, Clyde [Stubblefield]). I think the two speak to each other, puts me in a good place. And of course I really, really love Alexis’s vocal which sounds desperate in the best way."
