Alexis Krauss and Derek E. Miller known as Sleigh Bells are releasing a new album, “Texis“, on September 10th via Mom + Pop Music. Now they have shared another new song from it, “Justine Go Genesis,” via a video for it. A press release says the song sounds like “the unexpected intersection of Metallica, Spice Girls, and ‘90s drum and bass.” Miller co-directed the video with Alex Ross Perry.
Previously Sleigh Bells shared the album’s first single, “Locust Laced”. “Texis” is the follow-up to 2016’s full-length album “Jessica Rabbit” and 2017’s mini-album/EP “Kid Kruschev”.
“We stopped worrying about whether or not we’re in or out of our comfort zone, or if we were being repetitive or formulaic,” said Miller in a previous press release.
Miller added: “The thing I’m most attracted to is the juxtaposition of happy and sad, melancholy and hope. A lot of this is about trying to hold on to a shred of optimism through sheer force of will, and I hope this music can give people some joyful energy and confidence.”
Most of all thank you to Alexis for an amazing performance, for believing in the treatment and running into a brick wall repeatedly. Our dancers Jasmine Sugar, Nadine Olmo, and Camila Arana smashed it, too We are both beyond ecstatic to kick everything off today. Thanks for listening and watching.
