The Battles - "(Make Love) In Beds Of Rivers"

Some things I think you should consider before listening to this track:

• The Battles are NOT the same band as Battles.
• The "The" is very important and makes your Google searches find much less information.
• The Battles apparently do not like to take press shots or have live shots anywhere on the internet(to my knowledge).
• There is also a Argentinian Beatles cover band called The Battles.
• But, The Battles I speak of include Steve Wood(Ex-Destroyer), Dan Bejar(Destroyer, The New Pornographers), Scott Morgan(Loscil, Destroyer) and Tim Lowen(Destroyer, Precious Fathers).

So, as you can see, lots of talent in this bunch and Steven Wood's songwriting is spot on here, as visible in this track with it's inumerable great moments. Starting right from the beggining with the catchy organ-y sounding keyboard line and the fuzzy guitar riffs. Then about halfway through the song take's a turn and practically slows to halt as Steven repeatedly commands: "Make sweet love!"

[MP3]: The Battles :: (Make Love) In Beds Of Rivers (HIGHLY REC'D!)

After five years since their debut Lycanthropy, The Battles' new album Tomorrow's Eager Hands delivers exactly what they're debut promised would be coming. Tomorrow's Eager Hands is out now on Soft Abuse and you can(will) buy it here.


Matt's got a new Pants Yell! song! Yes! Hopefully these guys will get the attention they deserve this year.

Miles Kurosky of the late Beulah is back in the hospital AGAIN for shoulder surgery. Sad! Get well Miles!

Stumble It!
