Noise-pop duo Sleigh Bells have announced their second album, Reign of Terror, with a new video in which the two strut around in a typically sexy, menacing manner to an extended riff from one of their new tunes. There is no word yet as to when the record will hit shops, but it will presumably be out within the next few months.

"Emotionally, it's a really heavy record," guitarist and producer Derek E. Miller told Rolling Stone about the new set back in May. "Even the early demos that we have now, a lot of the stuff that Derek has recorded, sounds more immense to me," said singer Alexis Krauss. "It sounds really huge, so there's going to still be tons of volume."

“Everyday People”

Sly and the Family Stone | 1968

"Everyday People" managed to trailblaze in two different ways -- it was one of the first pop hits to deal with the subject of racial harmony, and it utilized Larry Graham's "slap" technique on the bass guitar, which would soon be copied by countless other bassists. Graham once said about his pulsating style, "I'd never done that before … that's where the freedom of creativity came in for the band, that we'd be allowed to do that." In 1978, the song's line "Different strokes for different folks" would be borrowed for the title of the hit television show Diff'rent Strokes.
