The thing that bugs me most about Battles are the vocals on the album Mirrored. Though honestly it bugged me most on first listen and wasn't as bad after that. I've probably still only played it 3 times since its release. I find the EPs much more listenable.

I quite like the vocals actually, it gives it a very f*cked up, out of this world quality.

Finally got Tonto+ on vinyl in the mail. Oh frabjous day! In my opinion Battles can do no wrong. Mirrored probably my favorite album of 2007.

Agreed, Mirrored is a classic.
But I must confess, I ****ing detest EP C/ B EP.
Dying to hear a new album...

I;m gonna go get some Battles stuff now after hearing some songs.

Which EP's should I get?

All of them!

You f-in bastard...I'm not jealous so much that you're seeing Battles (well I am a little bit), but that Flying Lotus and Pivot are on the same bill. I hope you're also planning to attend the next day's festivities, with Clark, Hudson Mohawke and Jimmy Edgar? It would be a shame not to, especially for Clark. Many of these Warp blokes rarely come stateside.

I strongly prefer the EPs to the album, and for me I think it amounts to a lack of vocals on the EPs. Playing B EP right now, I think it's great.

lol, sorry for reviving an old thread but...
they have a new song out called "the line".
freaking awesome, but i hate how it's in the twilight soundtrack DX
oh well, nothing we can do about that.
they also have a few new songs performed live on youtube that kick major butt. check out "ice cream", mirrored had chipmunk vocals, but the song ice cream has deepened vocals. it's pretty sweet.

oh, and is your name an aphex twin reference? if it is, then i'm proud :D

i take it that battles doesn't get much love :\
