Battles - Mirrored


Battles is an American math rock band. The group's line-up is composed of well-known musicians, including ex-Helmet drummer John Stanier, ex-Don Caballero guitarist Ian Williams, ex-Lynx guitarist Dave Konopka, and Tyondai Braxton (son of avant-garde jazz musician Anthony Braxton), who also plays guitar and keyboard and creates live voice samples. This is one of my favorite albums of 2007, although it did take awhile for it to grow on me. I got a chance to see them live when I was visiting San Francisco and got a better feel for what they were doing once I saw them perform (although I was somewhat distracted by 3 moron hipsters who were trying to start a mosh pit)....The band looked confused.
