There Is A New Sleigh Bells Workout Video
We have long been fascinated with the theoretical exercise potential in the music of the cheery, epic Brooklyn pop duo Sleigh Bells.

"They make me want to work harder and run faster," she told us a few weeks ago, adding a few stray shots at the more grating workout efforts of other indie rockers, like LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy ("I don't enjoy running to a club song that feels like it's slowly driving a nail into my brain"). Now Clark sends along evidence that she's done it again:

Especially when those extra guitars kick in. "I have had people interested in their music since our last one," says Megan, who is based out in Hawaii. "Aloha!"
