Do Not Adjust Your iPod

Sleigh Bells, the band everyone's talking about, is meant to sound messed up. Roll with it

One consequence is that the set list remains the same every night — the songs are all stored on one 32-minute track. There's no time for rambling banter, no room for improvisation. Once the show starts, it doesn't stop.

Nashville amounts to the Platonic ideal of a Sleigh Bells concert. The room is a sweaty shoe box. The crowd knows the songs, and the band plays almost its entire recorded catalog. Tess Little gets another chance to sing onstage. And at the very end, as the last chords of "Crown on the Ground" ring out, Krauss crowd-surfs on her back — propped up by hand after hand, reaching out to touch a rising star.
