Sleigh Bells Confirm New Album Bitter Rivals Set for October 2013 Release and Announce Fall 2013 Tour Dates

Sleigh Bells has confirmed that their new album, Bitter Rivals, will drop in October. The duo has also announced a North American tour this fall.

Brooklyn’s Sleigh Bells is a noise pop band made up of singer Alexis Krauss and guitarist Derek Miller. Bitter Rivals will be their third album and will be released on October 8 via Mom + Pop. You can currently pre-order the album or download the “Bitter Rivals” single on iTunes.

Fans have been waiting to hear more about the album for a while, especially after information was leaked on Amazon and promptly deleted. Also increasing the hype around the album was guitarist Miller, who described it as more positive album than the duo’s previous work.

The tour will begin on October 4, just four days before the album’s release, and will continue until November 22. Most of the dates will be played with Doldrums, though Sleigh Bells’ last show of the tour will be with Danny Brown.
