Battles - Mirrored

It's been ages since the last time i did some calculation, and this time it's a really good opportunity to do one. Let's count it together. The least you can do is to show some 'entertaining' spirit by counting along. Here we go. What do we get if we get the son of an avant-garde jazz musician Tyondai Braxton, plus ex-Don Cab guitarist Ian Williams, plus ex-Helmet drummer John Stanier and ex-Lynx guitarist Dave Konopka? We get US math rock band Battles.


They released a new album entitled Mirrored not too long ago. Their current single Atlas is voted 'best single of the week' by NME. Stanier's drumming works are amazing, partially making the band interesting to listen to. Funny voice effects - i think i heard Crazy Frog singing back vocals, but nah, it's impossible, but, the song is crazy!

Check out the video of their new single...It's a great video. Energetic live musicians. Sweet~!
