Battles - Futura [Live Video + Tour Dates]


Battles [Warp Records]: Official | Facebook

Here goes part two of La Blogotheque's Take Away Show with Battles [Part 1 here]. Below you will find the three piece take you through the sonic ride of Futura. I'm only halfway with their brand new release Gloss Drop [purchase @ Official | iTunes | Best Buy | Bleep] because I keep repeating each track over and over and again. The sure amount of musical sounds created by just three individuals is astounding. If you're lucky enough to be in one of the towns they'll be touring in this year I highly suggest you see them perform live. If you're living in a place not so lucky to have them perform, you'll just have to listen to their album on repeat until they finally make their way around to your town.

Battles | Futura | A Take Away Show
"We were all exhausted, but the band was dead tired. They were less rigorous, drifting, especially John, struggling with his drumkit despite the fatigue. Playing Futura, that night, was like fighting the beast. Their beast." - La Blogotheque
