Sleigh Bells – Reign of Terror

Sleigh Bells – Reign of Terror 3/5

Brooklyn duo Sleigh Bells (Derek Miller and Alexis Krauss) return with 2nd album ‘Reign of Terror’, which is more ear-friendly and melondic than their guitar (and ear) damaging debut ‘Treats’.

Lana Del Rey – Born To Die

Lana Del Rey – Born To Die 4/5

A sexy femme fatale/bad girl character called Lana Del Rey has got the entire world flummoxed. Are her kissable lips real? Is she really a bad girl? Or is she trying to disguise her posh background? A singer hasn’t come under this much scrutiny since a weird bloke called David Bowie claimed that he was the human manifestation of an alien called Ziggy Stardust and started wearing frocks.
