    Everything about Jessica Rabbit is visceral--full-force drum slams, the slick claps, Miller’s steely slabs of guitar, lyrics replete with bombs, knives, and natural disasters.

    Energising Sleigh Bells with rocket-fuel, Jessica Rabbit stands up as the band’s most consistent record since ‘Treats’.

    Their latest is just as bright, bold, and bludgeoning as their past work but adds complexity and depth to their sound.

    When Brooklyn duo Sleigh Bells arrived six years ago, their wild-style hip-hop/noise-punk seemed like an explosive novelty. Four records into their run, they're still building on it.

    They may not have quite hit the mark of a perfect partnership yet, but sometimes progress comes at a price. Jessica Rabbit is at least a step in the right direction.

    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.

    This is a mess of an indie pop album, filled to the brim with ambient interludes and a taste for unnecessary drum machines, but a mess that longs to make sense of itself.

The heavy stuff kills, the pop is great, the synths are clutch. Basically the cohesion of their sound(s) into something so great. 5 years in, I'm still listening to this album quite a bit. "Crucible" is my favorite track that they've ever released.
    "It's Just Us Now" isn't too far behind it.    … Expand

    Jessica Rabbit was touted as their biggest, baddest, most emotional album yet, and that sentiment shines throughout the whole album. AfterJessica Rabbit was touted as their biggest, baddest, most emotional album yet, and that sentiment shines throughout the whole album. After Treats, it felt like Sleigh Bells couldn't figure out what direction to take their sound, and how to expand it. This album proves that they have taken the right path, and are walking on it with stride. A few songs miss the mark however, and while Alexis is most certainly showing off her great vocal range, it undermines their overall tone and almost sounds -too- poppy at times. That hardly takes away from the complete experience that is Jessica Rabbit, though.… Expand
