The atypical 'breather' moment that comes with 'Cacio e Pepe' is an exploration in harmony anchored by Battles' characteristic repetition, whilst tracks like 'FF Bada' and 'Summer Simmer' are examples of the thick textural richness that can be found throughout the album.

Few albums can match Battles' Warp debut for innovation coupled with accessibility.

It might sound like a mess written down, but the way the band pull these disparate influences together makes for some of the most continually thrilling music, even when considered several years down the line. 'Atlas' must be one of the strangest and catchiest instrumental pop songs ever made, and there are plenty of other thrills to be found here, like the playfully glinting vocal abstractions of 'Tonto' or the twists and turns of 'Rainbow'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warp","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50521980207435,"sku":"399023","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/a6e578a1-7e59-4f77-b19c-473a5a64117e_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727997510"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_84d96f37_thumbnail_4096_8ce56ae0-3193-4a3c-8ee9-122dc46344dd.jpg?v=1726487380","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/battles.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
