I loved Battles debut album Mirrored. It was a real breath of fresh air when it came out in 2007. Since then the singer Tyondai Braxton left the band to focus on his solo career. I must admit that I wondered what would happen to their sound after that since Braxton seemed to be the man songwriter in the group. Gloss Drop, which is to be released in June, made those fears go away though. Once again are we met with quirky sounds, sunshine and great songs. This time around most of the tracks are instrumental, but that is no let down. Battles still manage to bring good music that are just in the mode of what I want this summer. Check it out when it drops.
Rating: 3.5/5
