Battles - reaching melting point.. May 07' Tour

April 28, 2007

The awsome foursome (John Stanier / Tyondia Braxton / Ian Williams / Dave Konopka) have been busy in their New York studio since their EP collection on Warp & intense euro touring in 2006. The new single "ATLAS" was released 2nd April on Warp along with a stunning video. The much anticipated MIRRORED album is now available in all good music stores!.

ATLAS is an incredibly chunky stomper, like Can writing a 2007 dancefloor track. Stanier thumps out a chugging 'Cologne' beat which layers up kick on kick to give an almost techno like effect whilst Tyondia brings warped out vocals that tease like the best Boards of Canada vocoders. Deep funk guitar rhythms build up into a trademark Battles crescendo. Its a brilliant shift from the earlier material towards a more direct punchy style, which brings to mind images of huge crowds with their hands in the air.
