- John Stanier, previously banging the drums for Helmet has a new band called Battles.- What now ? Stanier ?- Yep. And they don't sound anything like Helmet, but he sure sounds like Stanier...
I had to check it out. I've been listening to it a lot. It's great to have it pumping in the earphones when walking through Rio de Janeiro, in the 12:00 sunny chaos.They use pretty much your conventional rock instruments but feed them into sampling pedals and others effects to loop the shit out of their playing and build up the great angular riffs that make this music interesting. Add to this the ultraprecise drumwork and there you have it: a great record.
