Sleigh Bells have shared a brand new track called "Rule Number One", mixing their brash sounds with bold pop vocals.
The song follows "Champions Of Unrestricted Beauty", last year's surprise one-off. It's typically abrasive and fuelled by high-octane axes and hazardous drums, but there's soft, melodic side shining through.
Check out the lyrics and Brian Montuori-created artwork for "Rule Number One".
Sleigh Bells' last LP, Bitter Rivals, was released in 2013.
Listen to their interview with Zane Lowe below, and "Rule Number One" after.
