Artist: Sleigh Bells

The SLEIGH BELLS dropped via the Zane Lowe HQs yesterday to do an acoustic rendition of the BEY's break-up mp3, the IRREPLACEABLE .

Too bad I already did ' Don't Blow Your Cover ' this week. Sleigh Bells have covered Beyonce 's "Irreplaceable" on DJ Zane Lowe's BBC show. Check out the song below. Do you think it belongs on their album, Reign of Terror-ible ? Read more »

For their Maida Vale session, Sleigh Bells covered 'Irreplaceable' by Beyoncé , which in theory should be amazing, but unfortunately in practice it isn't. For hardcore Sleigh Bells fans, this stripped down acoustic track will probably fit beautifully in your iTunes playlist of bootlegs and live recordings, but for anyone else their approach to the track is too similar to the original (obviously excluding the production/instrumentation ) in terms of ballpark musicality. Judge for yourself by clicking the play button below.

There's not much to say about this one...so just listen to it! With all due respect, it is unlikely whatever you are doing right now is more important than this Sleigh Bells rendition of "Irreplaceable." !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! Happy listening.

If Sleigh Bells were to have asked us what song from Beyonce's platinum-plated catalog we would like them to cover, our request would have probably fell on them tackling one of Blue Ivy's Mama's many beat-tastic bangers ( "Check On It" , "Single Ladies" , "Diva" , "Video Phone" , "Run The World (Girls)" , "Countdown" , any one of the Rich Harrison or Swizz Beatz-produced jams from 20062s B'Day ), as one of the R&B-Pop diva's most heavyweight knockers being delivered through the duo's sweet + [...]

Sleigh Bells cover Beyoncé's 'Irreplaceable' live on BBC Radio One and it turns out to be quite beautiful. I was hoping for a little nasty guitar in there but they kept it soft. Stream the radio rip below.

Hoy los Sleigh Bells estuvieron en el programa de Zane Lowe en la BBC en donde presentaron un par de canciones acústicas. Una fue la versión alterna de " Comeback Kid ", de su último disco Reign Of Terror, ¿y la otra? " Irreplaceable " de Beyoncé . Alexis Krauss le dio al clavo.

Sleigh Bells turned out a surprisingly sweet rendition of the classic Beyoncé track. I'm kind of happy they kept the cover simple, although I can't really imagine what a version closer to the typical Sleigh Bells sound would have been like. "Irreplaceable" aired on Zane Lowe's show on BBC 1, their latest album, Reign of Terror is out now . Read Lloyd's review here .

Photo by Lauren Guagno During a recent Maida Vale session for BBC Radio, Sleigh Bells offered their take on Beyonce's break-up opus "Irreplaceable" . The cover is pretty straightforward, eschewing the band's usual noisy, layered production for the sounds of a simple strumming guitar and Allison Krauss' lush pop vocals. Check it below (via The NJ Underground ).

You're probably expecting this Sleigh Bells cover of Beyoncé's "Irreplaceable" to be at least a little ironic, right? Halfway through, you think an over-amplified guitar riff is going burst in to shatter the sweetness. Nope. This cover from BBC 12s Radio Show is as straightforward as you can imagine from Sleigh Bells covering Beyoncé, and it actually works. ( The NJ Underground )

Earlier today, Sleigh Bells stopped by Zane Lowe's BBC show and aired a couple of acoustic tracks they'd recorded for a Maida Vale session. One was an unplugged version of the single "Comeback Kid," and the other was their take on their possible future collaborator Beyoncé's breakup anthem " Irreplaceable ." It's a completely straight-up cover that never bursts into the staticy noise or the ultra-compressed metal riffage we've come to expect from them, and you can hear Allison Krauss's teenpop past in the sweetness of her vocal. Stream it below. Read More...

Nuestra super 'bb' Alexis Krauss y Derek Miller (y el otro tipo) estuvieron como invitados hace apenas unos momentos en Radio 1 para realizar su respectiva sesion dentro de los estudios Maida Vale y como era de esperarse, ademas de presentar algunos tracks de su mas reciente album " Reign Of Terror ", tambien aprovecharon para hacerle un cover a "Irreplaceable" de Beyonce. La verdad, hasta cierto punto esto en algun momento de la vida iba a ocurrir ya que como recordaran, aparentemente Sleigh Bells habia trabajado con Beyonce haciendo un poco de musica juntos pero [...]

The Brooklyn duo stop by the Maida Vale studios.

I gotta show some love for my hometown homie Diplodocus. I was a little late to discover Diplo; it was at the end of my third year of high school, back in 2008. My roommate at boarding school popped his iPod in the dock, and played a mix called ' I Like Turtles .' The eclectic mix combined hip-hop, jungle, rock, EDM, pop, and Diplo's own weird sounds so masterfully and gracefully, I was left aching to find more. Then came your typical rush of music discovery: Hollertronix, Fabriclive, Decent for Work for Decent Pay, and tons of miscellaneous Wesley [...]
