Video: Battles' "Atlas"

There are no words in any human language that can contain how I feel about this band.

(But if you must imagine, watch "Splash" starring Daryl Hannah & Tom Hanks and pay attention when she tries to sample her native language. I think they're in like a Circuit City or something...)

This song is coming out on Warp Records and is going to be called "Mirrored."

*Music video for the single 'Atlas' by Battles, to be released 2nd April featuring a remix by DJ Koze on the B-side. The track is taken from their debut full-length album 'Mirrored', out 14th May. Video directed by Tim Saccenti. www.myspace.com/battlestheband
