Mirrored, the beloved debut from post-rock all-star rockers Battles is nearly four years old, yet “Atlas” still sounds as revolutionary as ever. Still, it is about time for a follow-up. Actually, it is past time. The sophomore album has been expected for the last two years, with the departure of core member Tyondai Braxton certainly not helping the time-table. Well, we now have a date and it is June 7th.
Gloss Drop will feature a shit-load of special guests to help sing, including Gary Numan, Boredoms’ Yamantaka Eye, Blonde Redhead’s Kazu Makino, and Matias Aguayo. The album will be released on Warp records and we have the track list below. Also, the band will be touring, with at least one date (May 2nd in L.A.) already announced.
