Earlier this week, Sleigh Bells unveiled a new single, as well as the first glimpse of their upcoming fourth studio album. “Champions of Unrestricted Beauty” is, among other things, surprisingly clean by the band’s standards.

With no need for a hook or an inhaler break, the track

In the meantime, Pharrell gets hihat happy on the single, with a very laid back, country feel.

This week, we have a cleaner, longer leak of the track, courtesy of some guy on the internet. It would’ve been completely clean if he would’ve just turned
