Battles

"Ice Cream" (ft. Matias Aguayo)

BY Josiah HughesPublished Mar 10, 2011

Last month, prog-y rock experimenters Battles announced the endlessly anticipated details of their second album. The record is called Gloss Drop and isn't due until the summer, but BBC Radio 1 DJ Huw Stephens debuted the track "Ice Cream" on his show yesterday (March 9).


 We all expected Battles to enter a new direction after the departure of Tyondai Braxton and "Ice Cream" confirms those expectations. Resembling the sounds of a Yes cassette being played in a blender, "Ice Cream" has all of the disjointed rhythms of yesterday's Battles with a newfound organ obsession.
