Experimental rockers Battles present their 3 Minute Epiphany on making records in NYC. The band recently released their storming new single Titanium 2 on the Warp record label.

The single features No Wave legend Sal Principato from the iconic 80s New York band Liquid Liquid and the track itself is very much a homage to the city. With this in mind, we asked the band how it felt to finally be recording music in their home town after years spent holed up in studios across the USA.

Battles release their fourth album 'Juice B Crypts', this autumn and the record finds the band exploring their new life as a duo. Ian expands saying: 鈥淚t鈥檚 about chord progressions, resolutions, returning home. Take that and throw it into a blender of modern electronic tools like glitching devices, or use melodic lines and take them and regurgitate them and pulverise the traditional stuff but at the same time try and retain harmonic relationships while completely smashing them up鈥�.
