SLEIGH BELLS

Sleigh Bells shares a favorite smoothie recipe for busy parents

Alexis Krauss is a Hudson Valley-based singer and songwriter, best known as the vocalist of the noise-pop duo Sleigh Bells. Their debut album, Treats, remains a defining record of the 2010s alternative scene – “Rill Rill” and “Run the Heart” are my perennial songs of the summer. Sleigh Bells just released their sixth album, Bunky Becky Birthday Boy, on April 4th, and you can check it out here. The band is hitting the road this May and June, so be sure to snag your tickets. Lucky for us, Alexis is here to tell us what she’s been into.

Bird Collective

I love birds. Bird Collective has rad bird merch designed by incredible artists. A percentage of sales supports bird conservation. Go watch and listen to some birds outside. They have so much to teach us. Also in case you are wondering, my favorite bird is the Veery.

Ologies Episodes — alie ward

I spend a lot of time driving and listening to podcasts. This is my favorite podcast. Alie is an incredibly charismatic host and gifted science communicator. Each episode is the coolest, weirdest, funniest and often most moving science lesson you could dream of. Good episodes to start with are Erethizonology aka Porcupines and Foraging Ecology aka Eating Wild Plants.

Topple and Burn

My dear friend and fellow rock climber Kathy Karlo gifted me my Fuck the Patriarchy earrings and they are now my go to gift for the patriarchy crushing humans in my life. They also have Fuck Trump rings. What more do I need to say.

Osprey Poco Child Carrier

If you have a tiny human and you want to bring them to cool places outside you should use this carrier. They are expensive but pretty easy to find used. Very comfortable for both parent and baby and lots of storage for snacks.

Braiding Sweet Grass

Robin Wall Kimmerer is my hero. This book is so deeply nourishing and empowering. We need more wisdom like this in our lives. Once you finish this, read “The Serviceberry.”
