Sleigh Bells – This Summer
Sleigh Bells – comprised of producer/guitarist Derek Miller and singer Alexis Krauss – have dropped their third song off their much-anticipated album Bunky Becky Birthday Boy, out April 4th. Entitled
“This Summer,” the track is an essential noise-pop tune the band have become synonymous with perfecting.
“We joked around about writing our version of a summer song, but since it’s 2025 it had to have a twist. Not comparing us to these bands, but musically I think Derek mentioned The Cars and Ramones when he was working on the intro, verse and pre-chorus, and I was listening to The Shangri-Las a lot while messing around with melodies. RIP Mary Weiss, you are missed. Thank you to everyone who has been listening to these new tracks! Love, Alexis + Derek”
Sleigh Bells are so many things: era-defining, a sonic boom of energy, your favorite hyperpop musician’s favorite reference. But what are Alexis Krauss and Derek Miller to each other? Take away everything else — the critical acclaim, the inexplicable clash of sweet and aggressive, birthed in the late 2000s on Treats and expanded across the next decade on five more albums — Alexis and Derek are simply best friends forever.
