Battles ProfileWhile many missed the gloriously nonsensical vocals of the departed Tyondai Braxton on Battles' last album, Gloss Drop, the void was filled somewhat by a menagerie of guest singers drawn from a range of disciplines.
Haters will presumably have a field day with Battles' new, entirely instrumental album. From start to finish, La Di Da Di is packed with the pulsing, dynamic rhythms you'd expect, is flawlessly executed and depressingly familiar. For a band with all their combined talents, who would've thought Battles would release such a predictable album?
