Battles: Mirrored
Puzzle pop mentalists masterfully drag music into the future
Ever since legendary punk ’zine Sniffin’ Glue scrawled the manifesto “Here’s a chord, here’s another one, here’s another one, now go form a band”, indie rock critics have looked on with suspicion at musicians who can actually play. In short, we can crystallise this attitude using two examples. 1) You can’t strum a chord – fuck, you barely know which way up to hang your guitar...

Battles - Mirrored Lyrics
Battles - Atlas Lyrics
People won't be people
When they hear this sound
That's been glowing in the dark at the edge of town
Battles - TIJ Lyrics
There's something on my mind
But I don't want to talk about it
I'm saying my goodbyes
Though we haven't begun to party
Battles - Snare Hanger Lyrics
Welcome to an empty fortress
A mighty wreck that once was proud
Ate alive by oxidation
Abandoned by a crew of cowards
Battles - Prismism Lyrics
There's something on my mind
But I don't want to talk about it
I'm saying my goodbyes
Though we haven't begun to party
Battles - Bad Trails Lyrics
The night
The night is still
The night is still calm
Battles - Rainbow Lyrics
Once, one time, I was amazed
Natural delay and your wide voice
Got out of phase, I couldn't explain
Battles - Leyendecker Lyrics
There's something on my mind
But I don't want to talk about it
I'm saying my goodbyes
Though we haven't begun to party
Battles - Tonto Lyrics
The night
The night is still
The night is still, calm
Battles - Ddiamondd Lyrics
The diamond that was stolen held the code that melted
Water into letters spelling, where it had been taken to
In fact, I had a vision of the numbers
Corresponding with the letters, T H E D I A M O N D
Battles - Race: In Lyrics
Cool
To slit the grinning wounds from childhood's seven moons
The palette stained with the ejaculated passions
(Aey)
