Our guests today are none other than indie icons Sleigh Bells. For the past 15 years, the genre-blending duo of Alexis Krauss and Derek Miller have fused hip-hop, punk, pop, thrash, and techno into a sound that’s loud, chaotic, and entirely their own. With tracks like “Tell 'Em,” “Rill Rill,” and “Comeback Kid,” they’ve carved out a legacy and are often credited as early pioneers of what would later become hyperpop. Last Friday, they returned with their latest studio album, Bunky Becky Birthday Boy—a wild and hook-filled ride that pushes their noise-pop energy to new heights. In today’s episode, we chat with Alexis and Derek about the making of the record, their influence on a new generation of artists, and why owning your artistic identity still matters. We also talk about hitting the road with this new set of songs and when I first saw them play at Coachella in 2011.
