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 so we met up for beers at Brooklyn. He gave us a round up of what was going on with the band. They have been going non-stop for a couple of years now and with the newest album in works they are pretty much constantly being Battles.
I have a feeling this next piece of work is going to blow everyones minds. It also should be noted that John Stanier is the world's most awesome drummer...there I said it. Do you agree?

i agree wholeheartely. awesome drummer. i can't wait to hear their next project. i love a band that can have a hard edge, yet be kind of psycadelic at the same time. many many layers to these cats. cheers pat!
that song was awesome. i think i may need to purchase me some Battles. great photo too!
The man's a beast on the drums, that cannot be denied.
This album blew me away, I really didn't know what I was in for, but it sure is enjoyable.
Mirrored may be the best drums album this decade, with the possible exception of The Obliterati by Mission of Burma (Peter Prescott FTW!)
2 people, one pint? For a math-rock band, someone's really bad at counting ;)
anna, as you can see we are discussing who is going to drink it. the next frame was rock, paper, scissors. and don't even mention math-rock to stanier...he HATES that term.
Very excited to hear what this turns into. If you like Battles you should check out the new Soundscreen design gear- we have a great design for them we printed on totes, hoodies and tees and they're dropping as we speak.
