“Rill Rill” — Sleigh Bells

By Kathy Hopkinson

Alexis Krauss of Sleigh Bells takes us back to the ’80s with a snappy, retro sound in the song, “Rill Rill.” Her airy, young voice makes the song reminiscent of a high school cheer or jump rope chant — connecting the sound of the song to the lyrics. This cheerful tune touches on the darker sides of high school anxieties including boyfriends, braces and subtle references to drug use.

While the song itself is catchy and upbeat, the music video gives the song an intriguing dark edge. Krauss calmly drives through the desert while flashing back to images of popping balloons, a switchblade, a bloody telephone and red fog in the locker room — it’s up to the viewer to put the pieces together. Despite the eerie music video, this song is truly addicting, so be ready to put it on replay and have it stuck in your head for days.
