Official "new album" thread

Setlist from London show, on a paper plate! Ian's handwriting I believe. So, new song titles include Dot Com, Mexico, Summer Simmer, and The Yabba.

Pre-ordered the record and driving to Austin to see them. O happy day!

The press release describe it as “a mushrooming monolith of repetition” and “an organic techno thrum of nearly infinite loops that refuse to remain consistent.”

Pre-ordered record and CD. Bought tickets for Dallas and Austin, and backup for Philly, DC, and NYC. Not sure if I'll be moving to the East Coast this fall or not. Sucks that tix are will call only. I'll be losing money either way, but I didn't want to risk a sellout. 

Just the ticket preorders are will call right? I was just going to get mine Friday morning from Mohawk's website. 

I don't know...Maybe all ticket orders will be will-call. They're probably trying to fight scalpers. Some of the Brooklyn tickets (originally $20) are going as high as $180 now.

Alright I went ahead and ordered mine ha

Updated http://battlesatlas.com with new artwork... yum

UPDATE: Did a major site update with hundred or so new photos I've been collecting, and dozens of article links, etc... plenty to keep yourself immersed in Battles until the release of LA DI DA DI

In conjunction with Ableton, Battles have put together their mini-documentary ‘The Art Of Repetition’, a short film that joins Battles in their New York rehearsal space, studio in Rhode Island and on stage in Germany.

In ‘The Art of Repetition’, we visit the trio at their New York rehearsal space, join them at recording studio Machine With Magnets in Rhode Island as they record their new album, and accompany them onto the stage in Germany for an intense live performance. Along the way, we get an intimate look inside the band’s set-up, their unique methods of composing and, most interestingly, we get to know the three very different personalities that drive the band forward.

Watch the film via YouTube, and read Ableton’s interview with the band’s guitarist, keyboard and Push player Ian Williams here.

Pre-Ordered and Live Tickets!
Looking forward to seeing how DOT NET will sound in studio =D

Battles posted on Facebook:

We’ve been listening to these songs in preparation for La Di Da Di and tour. Some old favorites, weirdos & jammers. Playing over on Spotify here:

WATCH NYC LIVE SESSION

Watch Battles premiere four songs from their forthcoming album La Di Da Di in a specially recorded live session.

Filmed near the band’s rehearsal space in New York City, the band perform unique takes of new songs; The Yabba, Summer Simmer, Tyne Wear and Dot Com.

The film will be broadcast on loop for 24 hours at bttls.com tomorrow (4 August).

24hr broadcast starts at,
07:00 LA | 10:00 NYC | 15:00 UK | 16:00 EU | 23:00 JP | 00:00 AU (5TH)

Well I thought they might put the performance on Youtube after the 24 hour broadcast, but it looks like they only are making The Yabba available. In case you missed the broadcast, however, I did record it! The download link is below (1.35 GB).
