from my newsletter; We are delighted to announce the newest addition to the Warp roster. You may have come across Battles as a highlight of Sonar 2005, or supporting Prefuse 73 on the US and European tours. Either way, we can safely assume that anyone who has witnessed one of their phenomenal live shows will acutely remember the experience. Formed in NYC in 2002, Battles have somewhat tritely been termed a 'supergroup' of alt. rock. However, when you look at their line-up you can understand why. Ian Williams (Don Caballero), John Stanier (Helmet, Tomahawk), Dave Konopka (Lynx) and Tyondai Braxton (Prefuse 73 collaborator and notorious avant-jazz solo musician) have forged a genre of their own across just a handful of EPs. As the band themselves state, “Battles can do what it wants.” Warp will collate the aforementioned EPs as a newly packaged release in February 2006 ahead of an album of new material later in the year. Battles play at the ATP weekender in December and will be on tour in the US and Europe in the spring. |
