Thursday Bears: Battles on Take Away Show

There's few better treats in the music world than seeing someone you adore performing on Vincent Moon's "Take Away Show" on La Blogotheque.

Battles, whose continually hyped sophomore album Gloss Drop is set for release next Tuesday, June 7, premiered a pair of new songs from the album via Moon's show a little more than a week ago. With former singer/guitarist Tyondai Braxton out of the mix this time around, Gloss Drop will appear more on the minimalist instrumental side, easily seen in "Futura."
