Single// Battles, My Machines (Ft. Gary Numan)

Taken from their latest album -‘Gloss Drop’- ‘My Machines’ takes 80’s electro legend Gary Numan on board to manage vocal duties.
Aptly named, encompassing a heavily electric vibe, with the opening drum beat resembling a remote control helicopter, until the stomping parralel guitar and bass lines are introduced. Aswell as Numan’s unique, unmissable whimsical vocals and the eventual addition of an early 80’s sounding, almost robotic, keyboard fill.
A greatly atmospheric track from New York based experimental rock group; Battles, yet the standout feature is most definitely Numan’s signature vocal workings.
