Reign Of Terroris the sophomore album from Brooklyn, NY noise-pop duoSleigh Bellsand follow-up to its heralded 2010 debutTreats. The 12-song set was produced bySleigh BellsguitaristDerek Millerand engineered by Shane Stoneback, who also worked onTreats. According toMiller, “With Treats it was less clear to me whether Sleigh Bells was going to be a guitar band or if we were going to do more sample-heavy stuff. With this record I had to pick sides. The beats are still important to me, but the guitar won.”“A darker, creepier art-punk vibe dominates the rest of the album. The tone is informed by some of Millers personal travails: his father died in a motorcycle accident, and his mother has struggled with cancer. So the crunch-and-shout of the debut has given way to a more atmospheric approach, with Born to Lose mashing together heaviness and haziness and then drifting into a long, hypnotic guitar fade over what sounds like a lawnmower.”
