When hip-hop superstar M.I.A. makes an appearance on stage with your band, you know you're going places... and fast. Such is the case for the Brooklyn noise-pop duo Sleigh Bells who released their debut Treats earlier this year.
I don't really know how to describe their music. It's certainly anthemic ("Crown On The Ground" especially), weird, and maybe the most refreshing sound to come out of 2010. M.I.A. liked them so much that she made sure they signed with her label N.E.E.T.
They even made it into a Honda commercial (shown below). Also, my personal favorites from the album are up on the playlist above.
