Battles: My Machines feat. Gary Numan

Battles: My Machines feat. Gary Numan

Gary Numan’s voice sounds like it hasn’t aged a day since the golden years of “Cars” and ”Are ‘Friends’ Electric?” on “My Machines,” the new single from New York’s incendiary post-rockers, Battles. His blood-chilling howl inhabits the band’s gnarled arrangements like a wounded animal, which might account for the savagery of the video to the song. (Also, do we detect a subtle dig at YouTube sensations OK Go?)

My Machines” is out now on Warp Records, including the album version, an instrumental version, and the exclusive cut “A.M. Gestalt,” which sounds a little like a roller rink under aerial bombardment. Bracing.
