OMFG! The experimental band Battles has finally released new music and it is spectacular. We are bouncing off the walls with excitement about this news!  Juice B Crypts would be the first album since 2015’s La di da di and will be released by the badasses at Warp records on the 18^th. Along with this announcement from earlier in the year(in August) Multi-instrumentalist Ian Williams and drummer John Stanier   dropped the song funky Titanium 2 Step featuring  Sal Principato from Liquid, Liquid.

Williams and Stainer  released a  2 song combo, A Loop So Nice that sounds almost like a disturbing version of Metronomy   and They Played it Twice which features the genre bending voice of Xenia Rubinos.  Rubinos and Principato  aren’t the only guest features on the track lists. Some exciting names like Yes frontman Jon Anderson and Tune-yards. Along with some unknown names like the Taiwanese psych band 落差草原 WWWW (aka Prairie WWWW).

 “It’s about chord progressions, resolutions, returning home,” guitarist Ian Williams states in the press release about the record as a whole. “Take that and throw it into a blender of modern electronic tools like glitching devices, or use melodic lines and take them and regurgitate them and pulverize the traditional stuff but at the same time try and retain harmonic relationships while completely smashing them up.”

Check out both songs, the track list and tour dates down below! Give us your thoughts! We’d love to hear from y’all
