Sleigh Bells, the noise-pop duo of Alexis Krauss and Derek Miller, have announced a new album. Out April 4, via Mom + Pop, Bunky Becky Birthday Boy features the previously shared track “Wanna Start a Band?” and the new single “Bunky Pop,” which is out today alongside a video starring actress Dylan Gelula. Watch it below.
“We wanted the track to sound like a dog having the best moment of her life without any of the burden of self consciousness,” Miller said in a press statement. “‘Bunky Pop’ informed the entire record, and Bunky Becky kind of became a character woven into every song.”
Krauss and Miller released their last album as Sleigh Bells, Texis, in 2021. Beginning in May, they’ll hit the road for a North American tour.
