Battles - Tras
Review by Rohmat Hidayat
Battles' latest album, Tras, is a stunning display of the band's experimental and avant-garde sound. The album is a mix of electronic and rock elements, with intricate beats and complex rhythms that are both challenging and rewarding for the listener.
Tras is an album that demands attention and rewards close listening. The tracks are densely layered and full of unexpected twists and turns. The opening track, "The Yabba," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its driving beat and pulsating synths. "Summer Simmer" is another standout track, with its hypnotic rhythm and soaring vocals.
Throughout Tras, Battles demonstrate their mastery of sound manipulation and experimentation. The album is full of unexpected sounds and textures, from the glitchy electronics on "They Played It Twice" to the distorted guitars on "Dot Com."
