Battles

AB-CD Highlight From 2007

Mirrored

Mirrored is Battles first album proper and a significant measure of evolution from a band that has yet to cease moving. Still entirely intact are the unflinching experimentations and metallic angles of their young catalog, but a new melodic insight has manifested itself in the form of some of their most engaging tracks yet. "Tonto" opens with and off-kilter series of chimes and chugs which are welded to a forcibly shuffling drumbeat and a foreboding chant that gives way to a soaring midsection. First single "Atlas" is a verifiable anthem, unrelenting and gigantic, but never surrendering the skewed aesthetic of the band's past. With snaking, entrancing harmonies and thundering percussive force, Battles are a distorted reflection of an entire musical diaspora. Battles have delivered an experimental masterpiece that deserves recognition of its own. Format: CD Album
