Sleigh Bells (Alexis Krauss and Derek E. Miller) have announced a new mini-album, Kid Kruschev, and have shared its first single, “And Saints.” Kid Kruschev is due out November 10 via their own label Torn Clean. Listen to “And Saints” below, followed by the mini-album’s tracklist and cover art.

The current political climate partly influenced the album. Miller had this to say in a press release: “Doesn’t feel like the sky is falling, feels more like it fell. Maybe a long time ago and it’s just more obvious now. Lots of friction and darkness as well as opposition to all that, which has been inspiring to see. Alexis moved north of Brooklyn recently, somewhere with trees and cliffs, providing us with a new space to write and record without pissing off neighbors, so that’s what we’ve been doing. We didn’t want to wait another year or two to release something. We like the idea of putting out shorter records at a more consistent rate, so we’re gonna give it a shot for a while, see how it feels. Thanks for listening. Take care.”

Sleigh Bells released their fourth album, Jessica Rabbit, last year via Torn Clean/Sinderlyn.
