Ice Cream

This limited 12'' features the first single, ''Ice Cream'' from Battles' forthcoming album Gloss Drop (June 7, Warp Records). Ice Cream's neat trick is to rope in the impish minimal techno DJ Matias Aguayo, and use him solely on vocals. The track unveils a mischievous sense of fun that now lies at the center of the Battles sound, coming on like the soundtrack to a raucous, moonlit beach party in Brazil, matching the inventiveness of 21st century prog with the lilt of 1960's Tropicalia.
