Atlas

Reason #1 I'm bummed about missing out on Lollapalooza this year: Battles. This New York City band sounds like they would put on a great live show. The band itself is made up of members of Helmet, Don Caballero, and Storm and Stress. Their first album "Mirrored" is their first material to have lyrics, as their previous EPs have only been instrumentals.
The music video is their album cover come to life. It reminds me of the future scenes in the movie "The Fountain"--but with an experimental rock band and without a script that makes me want to mash my head against a brick wall for six hours (damnit that movie was awful--I slept through the last hour of it and STILL feel like my time was wasted). I'm rambling. Enjoy "Atlas" by Battles...
