mp3: Sleigh Bells remixes / covers Phoenix's "Chloroform"


We've gotten to that point far enough from the release of Phoenix'sBankrupt! where the inevitable big-name remixes are starting to seep out. First R. Kelly did a number on "Trying To Be Cool," now Sleigh Bells have taken on "Chloroform," succeeding in making it sound like a Sleigh Bells song. Alexis Krauss adds a new, playful, float-like-a-butterfly sting-like-a-bee vocal line over pounding bass tones, big drums, and some twinkling, distorted synth. We're particularly enamored of the moments where the duo keep Thomas Mars' vocals intact, allowing for a synthesized duet between him and Krauss. Check it out.
