Sleigh Bells: "Comeback Kid"

Now if this isn't the peppiest break up song I've heard this week... Alexis Krauss croons "you've gone away but you'll come back someday" as if she looks forward to the eventual reconciliation but not quite as much as she welcomes the space RIGHT NOW.  This video is primarily Krauss waxing cute and showing off her stage moves intercut with some complete non sequitur bullshit - shopping, tanning, beachcombing - but trust me: you're in it for the tune, probably the catchiest, most radio-worthy Sleigh Bells epic to date.

Sleigh Bells: "Born to Lose"

Been listening to this band for awhile but just now realized Derek E. Miller - one half of Sleigh Bells - used to be the guitarist for Poison the Well... which is weird, because I haven't thought about that band in quite awhile but out of nowhere found myself wondering what happened to them the other day.

"Born to Lose" is not a cover of any of the umpteen other songs with the same name, but what it is is the first single off the upcoming sophomore LP Reign of Terror out Feb. 14th.
