Nov 30, 2016For the loyal fans, this is what they come back for. For the more casual Sleigh Bells listener, this may prove one full-length album too many.
-
Nov 16, 2016Jessica Rabbit does not feel challenging, nor does it feel inviting. The adolescent only hopes to participate.
-
Nov 11, 2016It’s all deranged enough to convince us that Sleigh Bells are still menacing outliers, but on a deep cover mission to infiltrate the mainstream, horns still poking out of their ’80s mullet wigs.
-
Nov 3, 2016Jessica Rabbit‘s greater emphasis on melody, along with its more diverse, if occasionally too random, structure, clearly comes from savvier musicians who are more aware of their own tendencies and flaws, even if they can’t always overcome them.
-
Nov 8, 2016Too many of these songs are just bluster in search of a purpose. Casualties of the duo’s noncommittal approach, they fall into a thankless gray area, too tinkered-over to function as punk, yet too haphazard to be great pop.
-
Nov 8, 2016Jessica Rabbit is the work of a band in stasis, but also one who sound desperate to pull themselves out of it.
-
Dec 12, 2016Alexis Krauss is still a potent vocal performer, though the same cannot be said for an album that stubbornly covers the entire contemporary pop gamut with an an irritating self-confidence. It ultimately sabotages their own efforts.
-
Nov 11, 2016Sleigh Bells has grown up plenty since their 2009 lightning-strike arrival, but perhaps that strike is starting to feel like more of a distant memory than it should.
