│ New York City's experimental rock group Battles will │││█
│ release their second full-length studio album, 'Gloss │││█
│ Drop' this 3rd June on WARP through Inertia. The highly │││█
│ anticipated record is a hybrid of genres and involves an │││█
│ outstanding array of collaborations. Contrasting complex │││█
│ and counter melodies in fiendishly interwoven rounds, │││█
│ Gloss Drop is a rock unit which manages to juxtapose │││█
│ tribal rhythms and carnivale music alongside tactile funk │││█
│ and reinterpreted dance beats. Reaching across all corners │││█
│ of the globe, the new album features contributions from │││█
│ well respected artists such as the UK's Synth-pop pioneer │││█
│ Gary Numan, Chilean born minimal techno producer Matias │││█
│ Aguayo, the frontman of Japanese Alt-rock band The │││█
│ Boredoms, Yamantaka Eye, and from their very own NYC, Kazu │││█
│ Makino of cult indie rock trio Blonde Redhead. │││█
