New Battles video inside!
 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpGp-22t0lU


finally!! battles debut full lenght album, mirrored, will be released may 14th thru warp in the uk, i presume the album will be released on may 15 on the us, not sure thru which label.

that's the video for the first single 'atlas'

and in other news: neurosis are set to release their next album entitled given to the rising on may too! still no specific date though

Can't wait for the Battles full length. I'll be seeing Neurosis at the 12th Roadburn Festival,
together with Pelican, Red Sparowes. etc. It's going to be massive.

i didn't like pelican's new one, city of echoes, that much, it sounds like b-sides from their last album; they are awesome live bands, though; have fun.

The video for atlas is awesome. I hear they're supposed to be an intense live band, love them and their wizardry to death.

I want battles to play in my backyard everytime I feel the urge to listen to their music. But most likely I will thank EN for the link and go listen their EPs right now. May wil be a good month for music, I'll see explosions in the sky, shellac, red sparowes and maybe battles too. Yay.

Cool , im seeing Pelican with These arms are Snakes next month, it should be a good gig.

as for the new Battles record, i cant wait.

Oh yeah, Battles !

Good news!

i love you nicfit. but i do still intend to buy mirrored on vinyl when it's released.

Mhh, maybe i should check out more of their stuff.
I was really disappointed when i saw them live last year but i liked the video Everyneurotic posted.

::Added to my give them another chance list

so after the first listen im completely on my ass. a huge leap forward from the eps imo and great vocal effects by braxton.

I've heard their name quite a bit but that video wasn't what I expected at all. Is their other stuff like that?

COUGH COUGH COUGH!! * http://www.badongo.com/file/2397115 *
Do I need to cough even LOUDER??

Oh God, that new album is awesome.

Best thing I've heard this year so far. Damn DAMN GOOD !!!!

I've listened to it a few time now, and to be honest with you, I don't know what to think of it...

I listened to it once and know exactly what to think about it. Hint: It's not positive. The vocals are utterly, utterly terrible.

You took the words right out of my mouth. I don't understand why there has to be effects on the voice throughout the whole album.
The music's ok though. Maybe I just don't get what the big hype is about?

In my opinion the voice is part of the music, i don't consider it as proper singing, and i love how it "interacts" with the instruments, and the effects help making it more as an added layer than vocals.... By the way, it's obviously a matter of tastes, in my opinion the hype (altough as always a bit exaggerated) is justified by the fact that they are simply orginal and nowadays it's a definite plus. I can't express myself better today, sorry, just keep in mind that I'm not trying to convince people to like this album.

Im seeing them later this month!

i didn't care for the vocals then, i'm not a big fan now. they just seem silly and gimmicky and ridiculous. they're not BAD, they're just.. i can't explain it. it seems like they said, "let's do vocals. but let's make em WEIRD!" instead of "let's do vocals that sound good over the music we're playing." you know? props to them for doing it, but now we have to hear every magazine/website in the world go "BATTLES INVENTED THE PITCHSHIFTER!!!!" and "IT SOUNDS LIKE MERRY LITTLE ELVES PLAYING PROG MATH ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" but anyway, yeah, battles rock, they are just so ridiculously talented and listenable.

Mirrored is so so good, best album of 2007, by far, in my opinion! It's just so great, I'm in love with this album

I have it ranked at no. 3 right now.

BATTLES - ATLAS LIVE @FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL 2007, JAPAN

It just occurred to me that Atlas is Salta backwards.
Salta = italian for "jump".
I'm outta here have a nice week end guys!
Good mood mode on.

Mirrored is soooooo good, man. So good. I love it.

mirrored currently vying for my album of the year........ its joint #1 with 2 others......

Animal Collective - Strawberry Jam
Battles - Mirrored
Best albums of the year. Do I see a trend?
(unfairly discounting EIG - Shellac)

I saw them live on Wednesday. Really really absorbing. My dyspraxic attention was on them 100%.

after atsonicparks recomendations in another thread, i decided to check out their myspace.
wow, fucking brilliant! thanks.
so im downloading the link posted (cause we don get good cds in this country).
it looks like it will b a good listen:-)

The Liars one is very good too, and the new Black Dice is gonna pwn. The three first songs especially are really impressive

i think my top 5 is pretty set...

panda bear
animal collective
battles
dirty projectors
black dice
....love all 5 of these albums...

Battles should release TWO albums a YEAR. It's vital

Oh, I bet it's glorious, thanks, nicfit(test).

Will someone snoop the url of the .swf link? I hope it's an .flv link actually. At any rate, I'm trying to avoid installing Acive X.
