Battles - Juice B Crypts LP (October 18th, 2019)

[silentvision]

 

Battles return with their fourth album Juice B Crypts on Warp Records to follow their complex, mind-bending predecessors Mirrored, Gloss Drop, Dross Glop and La Di Da Di.

awesome track, glad we finally hear a tune and have a release date. was unsure how they'd sound after dropping to a 2-piece, but they've still got it!

and they're headlining a festival i'm going to next week, can't wait!

[jules]

nice!

def dig the track. Its been awhile...

[Stock]

Yeah I really like what I'm hearing!! The vocalist did a great job on this too. Wonder how the whole LP will turn out tho with their reducted line up! I loved Konopka, it was so sad to hear he left!

So you could say... they lost part of the battle?

[Soloman Tump]

Nice, think I will buy this.

Lol yeah.

Next album will probably be an hour of Ian Williams' guitar jams with a volca drum machine, and the band will disappear as soon as Williams will split up with himself!

[beerwolf]

Yummy tune!

 

[may be rude]

whoa, stanier and williams sounds like an awesome lineup, honestly. new song is good!

^ as awesome as those two are, ive never been able to get into the instrumental band but with a bunch of guest vocalists style of album.  mirrored they all worked as a cohesive unit which is part of what made it such a great album.

on thaaaat note, i just realised i never gave ladidadi a chance.. partly because i thought the album art sucked.  i didnt realise it was an instrumental and a bit of a "return" to their earlier stuff. am i missing out there?

last album was one that i loved when it came out, kinda forgot about for while, then came back to in a big way. they haven't released anything even close to being not great imo

[may be rude]

i was into battles before the vocalists and always kind of preferred it instrumental. EP C / B EP is my favorite of their stuff.

I like their instrumental tracks. This album looks like it is going to have too many guest vocalists for my tastes..

I’m not against vocalists. Some of my best friends are vocalists. That said...

Lol

[auxien]

that track is pretty nice, never really listened to Battles i don't think...cover art is really good too.

[mushroom]

can't wait. Really glad to see so many guests again. I really dug that approach on Gloss Drop (their best IMO) and I thought it was sorely missing with La Di Da Di.

[sidewinder]

Song sounds good, but I'm also fearing the Tune-Yards features. 

[beerwolf]

would like to hear another track off this

same calibre as the first single I'd be on the ltd vinyl

Never heard a good album that used (feat. X) multiple times 

Cosmogramma?

[Candiru]

Any good rap album.

[QQQ]

the set list the other day was 100% new material other than Atlas, Summer Simmer, and The Yabba. all the tracks were amazing. new album is going to be great.

[fairuzosman]

Xenia Rubios singing over the top on this one but goes well with the track methinks
