::: The Battles - Saturday Night :::

Full Promo Copy Regurgitation:

“The Battles are a rock n’ roll band from Vancouver, British Columbia. Stephen Wood formed the group in 1997 to record and perform his songs, and in the ten years since has experienced a shift in personnel that has seen members of Destroyer, New Pornographers, Black Mountain and Precious Fathers pass through the ranks. Giantess, the third album from The Battles, is an exercise in profundity. Veering wildly from accelerated, almost Sabbath-like rave-ups, to introspective ballads that tug at the heart (often with tongue planted firmly in cheek), the blistering Giantess is delivered with the poetic grandeur of Bryan Ferry or Graeme Downs at their absolute peak. The band has never sounded better.”
