New Battles Music Video (NSFW)

Experimental rock group Battles have released a new music video for the song Ice Cream off their upcoming album ‘Gloss Drop’.

In terms of the song, I think it’s pretty cool. It doesn’t share the raw sense of power that much of their earlier music does, but it’s still catchy and different enough to hook you in. If it’s an indicator of what is to come in their album then it could be a very interesting record indeed.

In terms of the video, it’s made by the same people behind El Guincho’s Bombay music video, and that’s really all you need to know. If Bombay‘s video was an 11/10 on the weirdness scale (and let’s face it, it was), then this is probably a 4 or 5. Same goes for the NSFW tag- you don’t really see much but I guess it still technically applies. I don’t like the clip quite as much as I did Bombay, but it’s still pretty damn cool and refreshingly different.
