When Battles first came out with their EP compilation EP C/B...we almost peed in our pants with joy. Battles in our minds are a super quartet [avant musician Tyondai Braxton, guitarist/keys Ian Williams (Don Caballero/Storm & Stress), guitarist David Konopka (Lynx), drummer John Stainer of (Helmet/Tomahawk)] creating some of the best layered, angular rock that takes chances.
