On their third studio album, the rhythmic core of Battles is as full as ever.
La Di Da Di is a bold opus of post rock and virtuosic instrumentals, further cementing the New Yorkers among the most inventive alternative bands currently doing the rounds.
Opener The Yabba, for instance, is a gradual unravelling of math rock motifs that eventually explodes into the glitch-laden Dot Net.
The atypical ‘breather’ moment, meanwhile, comes in the form of Cacio e Pepe; an exploration in harmony anchored by characteristic repetition, while tracks like FF Bada and Summer Simmer are examples of the thick textural richness found throughout the record.
Parading all the weapons and musicianship for which Battles are so revered, La Di Da Di is a must-hear.
