Sydney's Battleships -- Stream A Couple Of Videos by New Music Michael on November 16 2012 Working on some non-music tasks last night at the computer, and at the same time trying to get through some of the listening required by my overflowing inbox. Trying to keep it under control. It's not easy. But this band made it easier, because oh my god they're good. From Sydney, Australia. Speaking of which, I wonder if my friend Jennifer is still there. I should check in with her. Or if she's reading this she should email me. At any rate, Battleships are an indie rock / folk quartet that are captivating. Alluring. Mellow but with a grab-you-by-throat-throw-you-down-to-the-ground aesthetic. You can check out a couple of videos, the one above is "In Retrospect", and the one below is "Your Words". Their newest 7" has just been released featuring the track "To You". It's got a total of seven tracks on it, including of course the tracks from the two videos. It just dropped last week (I checked on iTunes first, it's definitely there).
