"Rill Rill" sits on Treats, the 2010 debut album from Sleigh Bells, the noise-pop duo of singer Alexis Krauss and producer-guitarist Derek Miller, and it grew into the band's most popular song. It samples Funkadelic, and the writing credit folds George S. Clinton and Ernie Harris in alongside Krauss and Miller.
Miller produced it and plays on it, with Shane Stoneback engineering and Ever Ronquillo assisting. Treats came out through Mom+Pop and N.E.E.T. Recordings on the heels of the April single "Tell 'Em", and the album won the duo wide critical acclaim, landing on year-end top 10 lists from Slant, Paste and Entertainment Weekly.
