Favorite song of the week: “Atlas” by Battles

It’s taken me some time to get to Mirrored, the much talked-about album from Battles on Warp Records. Thankfully, I’ve also been oblivious to much of the hype (hate the hype, not the band, I say). The foursome will be playing Studio B on July 20, but I might miss that for Bishop Allen over at Seaport Music Festival, where Battles will be playing an August 31 date. Animal Collective, Danielson and XXX Change from Spank Rock are kicking the fest, which happens to be one of my favorites this summer, off today.
