Brooklyn's Sleigh Bells, who released their highly-acclaimed sophomore album Reign of Terror earlier this year via Mom + Pop Music, have announced that they will be hitting the road this fall with AraabMuzik.
In addition, the duo is playing select dates alongside Refused this month and will be making stops at FYF, Pygmalion, and Midpoint Festival this September.

Praise for Sleigh Bells' summer 2012 live shows:
"Sleigh Bells - fronted by the dynamo Alexis Krauss - delivered a pulverizing set of dubstep-anticipating hipster fitness soundtracks that squelched any sound happening anywhere else in the park.(Pitchfork Music Festival)" - The New York Times
"Sleigh Bells are all about MORE: more riffs, more strobe lights, more Marshall stacks …The sound was massive and immaculate…Guitarist Derek Miller stalked the stage like he was pacing around a boxing ring waiting for his opponent…you don't listen to Sleigh Bells to hear any one thing, but rather the totality of the sonic assault." - Pitchfork
"Alexis Krauss … goes from a whisper to a bloody shriek in less time than it takes a sports car to accelerate from 0 to 60… Sleigh Bells play games with spacing and silences, magnifying the size of what comes through the speakers…Iron Maiden would be proud." - Chicago Tribune
