If you're new to Battles' amazing math rock or their star - studded lineup, don't fret! Mirrored will quickly get you in the loop. This record showcases the band's technical prowess, with a production that sounds like it cost a fortune and tighter playing than ever. And yes, there are vocals this time! The lead single 'Atlas' has been a hit overseas, where technical nerd rock plays on drive - time radio. The opening 'Race:In' and closing 'Race:Out' tracks are not just ordinary bookends; they're cool, mirrored sounds full of complex guitar and drum work that'll make your arms ache just listening. Check out 'Leyendecker' with its fuzzy beats, the wacky 'Ddiamondd,' and the short 'Prismism.' This vinyl version comes with a 12'x24' fold - out poster of the album cover shot by Timothy Saccenti. It's a double vinyl with 11 tracks lasting 52 minutes. Features include a black double vinyl pressing, yellow inner sleeves, a foldout poster, a digital download, and it's from Warp Records 2016.
