Sleigh Bells has unveiled another new song “I Can Only Stare,” from their upcoming album Jessica Rabbit out on Nov. 11. The song opens with a simple pop-electric keyboard sequence before lead singer Alexis Krauss showcases her strong vocals with high pitched melodies right off the bat. While the song is on the fast pace side, it still emanates a euphoric and tranquil vibe that soothes the mind while you listen. Sleigh Bells claimed the song sought inspiration from the Enlgish rock band The Smiths, according to Pitchfork.

The band even took to their official Twitter page to promote the new song, dubbing “I Can Only Stare” their “favorite” song off the new album

While the band has exciting new material on the horizon, they are currently caught up in a legal situation regarding their earlier music.

The band claims she sampled “Infinity Guitars” and “Riot Rhythm” on Lovato’s song “Stars,” a bonus track featured on her last album Confident. Click here to get the whole story.
