I remember seeing this mind blowing band a while ago at the Glass House in Pomona, CA and being amazed with their whole entire production. The music was excellent despite the technical difficulties they had, and the visuals, especially those of the guest vocalists singing to the audience, were basically a sight to see. Anyways, if you haven't heard Battles' latest album, Gloss Drop, I highly suggest you pick it up if you're into, and not limited to, anything like indie rock or math rock. I've been a huge fan of experimental math rock type of bands, so seeing and listening to Battles basically blew my mind, and still continues to. And also being a huge fan of all kinds of electronic music, I was pretty damn excited to hear about the Dross Glop series they were putting out, which is a collection of remixes released over four 12" releases (also available in MP3 and FLAC on Bleep.com).
