Strap Your Armor On...
At this year's Pitchfork Music Festival, all eyes were on Battles. And with their lush, wigged-out electro-prog-math rock and bro-fros, they did not disappoint. It's no wonder, since band members include the likes of guitarist David Konopka (Lynx), drummer John Stanier (Helmet, Tomahawk), keyboardist/guitarist Ian Williams (Don Caballero), and avant musician Tyondai Braxton. Their debut full-length CD, Mirrored, made indie kids and noise freaks swoon all summer.
If all else, challenge yourself: Can you dance to it? Can you dance to it and still maintain an iota of coolness? Catch Battles in all their glory when they play with Caribou, Born Ruffians, and White Williams at the Metro on Thursday, Nov. 8.
