13th Floor New Song Of The Day: Sleigh Bells – Rainmaker
Sleigh Bells have just released a new single, Rainmaker, to be featured on their upcoming mini-album, Kid Kruschev, due out on November 17th.
This comes hot on the heels of the duo’s previous album, last year’s Jessica Rabbit. Bandmember Derek Miller had this to say about the prominent sample used in Rainmaker:
“Some of you might recognize the main synth/chord progression of ‘Rainmaker’ from the trailer we made for Reign of Terror back in 2011. I’ve always loved those chords…only took me six years to find the right spot for them. I’ve also been dying to sample the Soul Searchers ‘Ashley’s Roachclip’ break, which is up there with Funky Drummer in my humble opinion (Miss you, Clyde). I think the two speak to each other, puts me in a good place. And of course I really, really love Alexis’s vocal which sounds desperate in the best way.”
