Battles, 'Africastle' (Interface)

Share
Comments
Battles came together in 2002 as a veritable supergroup of seasoned musicians and veterans of the '90s avant-rock and hardcore scenes. The lineup includes Ian Williams from Don Caballero, drummer John Stanier of the pre-grunge band Helmet and Dave Konopka of the spazz-rock group Lynx.

'Gloss Drop' continues their minimal approach to songwriting and features guest vocals from the likes of Gary Numan, Matias Aguayo, and Kazu Makino from Blonde Redhead.

"Were not a techno band, or some tribal ethnographic trip through Africa or something, or a post-minimalist modern classical band, but we do sort of just utilize that impulse of repetition in our own way. But I think we sort of connect to a lot of musical traditions that are out there." -- Ian Williams
