Photo by Joe MagersTyondai Braxton, the lead singer of experimental band Battles has recently released his second solo album titled Central Market. Wired Magazine said:the experimental art rockers are known for their robot-precise musicianship and digital manipulations, so it’s no surprise that lead singer and multi-instrumentalist Tyondai Braxton deployed an army of machines for his [...]

-Warp Records threw a birthday party on September 4th at Terminal 5 in New York and "twitchy math rockers" Battles came out to debut three new songs: "SDICT", "Sweetie and Shag" and "Sanford and Son."Too bad they didn't do a pagan, thumping version of the Ice Cream and Cake song, what with it being a birthday party and all.-Mega: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are releasing a multiple disc se...

Battles are slackers! Have not heard a word from them since their 2007 release of Mirrored (TMT Review), which is somewhat surprising when you consider their music sounds like it was made by men who'd get bored after five minutes of love-making. Excellent news then that Tyondai Braxton has gotten off his ass and decided to give us something new to get into a hyperactive fit over. His solo LP, C...

OH! a relevant, punny title! How lame ABC! (slap on wrist). Now for the meat of the matter, or, the matter of the meat, this past week has been absurdly discombobulating a) with the election season on full steam and all sides taking potshots or arguing about 'who's the biggest celebrity' or 'who's going to raise/lower taxes, and obamania finding outlets (I even saw a cardboard cutout this weeke...

So we made it to Bonnaroo after a 16 hour drive from New Jersey. "We" being my friend Omar and me after three stops for gas guzzling almost $120 for a tank and a half and a pretty rotten experience with a Virginia Waffle House (My body rejected it after ten minutes) we rolled into the campgrounds at 1AM on Thursday morning.After sleeping haphazardly for 2-3 hours the festivities began.The first...

Battles nailed it on Jools' show on Friday night.Every season or so, he broadcasts one performance as good as this.Had the album ages, but had never seen them visually - and it clearly matters! This was the most astounding thing I've seen on the tellybox in ages!

Loving the new Battles album 'Mirrored'. Something a little different, but not too different, if you see what I mean. 'No, Helen, that's the worst description ever.'Hey, just trying to make the word count I think the music speaks for itself!Um, this one isn't even on the album. I tried to put that one up, but youtube was having none of it.

9 out of 10 StarsImagine you've gone to the theater to see a performance by a group of performance artists playing music that is indigenous to their country. Sure you've seen the children of Uganda, Tuvan throat singers, and Gamelan musicians from Indonesia, but this is special. These are a group of people that the bill says is from Metalstonia. You are anxious. When the curtain drops you a...

Battles is in the studio as we speak. Their newest album is in it's earliest stages as they begin to write and prod. I can imagine how long of a process this must take considering the unique blend of parts and layers these guys put on their songs. Everything revolves around the pounding drum styles of John Stanier.While in New York, we called him up to see what he was up to and he was around...
