Album

"One could eloquently describe Sleigh Bells’ fourth album as a band harnessing their raw power and pushing it in new exciting directions.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Krauss sounds at once playful and vengeful: 'God only knows the hell that I chose,' she shouts over tornado guitars on 'Rule Number One,' like Brian Wilson high on a holy migraine.", "It’s all deranged enough to convince us that Sleigh Bells are still menacing outliers, but on a deep cover mission to infiltrate the mainstream, horns still poking out of their ’80s mullet wigs.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "'Unlimited Dark Paths' and 'As If'' attack contemporary R&B with avant-garde mentalism -- it's both far-out and potentially pack-leading.", "Several songs act as palate-expanders, traipsing the uncanny valleys inherent in lurching tempo changes, prog-like suites and miniatures bridging one stuffed setpiece to the next....Like no other rock in 2016, JESSICA RABBIT is rife with worthwhile whiplash..."

The duo borrow some Top 40 gloss, delivering some of their most pointedly catchy music in the process.
