Battles are putting together some of the crazier instrumentals I’ve heard in a while. Check out these stellar live cuts from La Blogoeteque:
Whoah. Thank you La Blogoeteque.
These guys also have a pretty massive summer/fall tour lined up in Europe and North America. If you’re ever in the need to freak your ears a little bit, I’m feeling like this is a show that can’t be missed. Check it…
