Sleigh Bells are back with their first piece of new music in three years. Entitled, “Wanna Start A Band?,” the track, is now available via Mom+Pop Music and DSPs. The duo includes producer/guitarist Derek Miller and singer Alexis Krauss. In addition to the new track, Sleigh Bells detail a spring North American tour kicking off in May. Tickets are on sale this Friday January 31st. Full routing below.

“In 2008 while eating at a restaurant in Brooklyn with my mom, our server, Derek, wasted very little time asking me, essentially, “Wanna Start A Band?” Hard to believe that almost 17 years later we are still hyped and obsessively making records together. Derek started messing with the riff for this song around 2014 — it needed a lot of work but a spark was there. We had a band by then but didn’t know how long it would last. For us, this song is a reminder of how we started but it’s also the first part of a new story we want to tell — more on that very soon! We hope you will come along for the ride. Love, Alexis + Derek”
