oh my gosh. the timing, not just for stanier but for the whole band is absolutely amazing. I'm so glad I just happened to stumble upon an article on Gloss Drop on Stereogum over the summer. Battles is now one of my top 5 fave bands.
-
why is that cymbal so high?
-
@vivelavidarocka music like this isn't easily consumable, this shit would never get played on radio, it's too challenging for the common ear, people want 4/4 shit you can sing along to with catchy hooks and melodies, not 4 dudes challenging the art of music, they'll always have an audience but never on a mass scale, at least not for a great while

@captainanomaly Drummers like Stanier inspire me to be a better guitarist. That's how awesome he is.

Battles have stated that they constantly attempt to retain a very minimalist sound, which is not helped if the drummer is constantly tempted to use his crash cymbal. Race:Out is the ONLY song in Battles back catalogue that uses the cymbal that many times in quick succession.
You're watching the wrong video if you're going to critisise the aesthetics of one of the best drummers alive today, so, in short; fuck off you wanker.
