Battles release new single ‘FF Bada’

With new, entirely instrumental album ‘La Di Da Di’ out in just a couple of weeks, Battles have unveiled its second slice, ‘FF Bada’.

In true Battles fashion, it’s a shuddering mashing together of genres and styles, all culminating in a clattering, pulse-raising middle-eight. Oh, and this time around, the food-based artwork looks a damn sight tastier than ‘La Di Da Di’ or preview single ‘The Yabba’’s. So that’s good.

‘La Di Da Di’ is released via Warp on September 18th - stream ‘FF Bada’ below, with Battles’ full worldwide tour dates below that.
