Here’s a new video for “Ice Cream” by Battles. The video maybe considered NSFW…unless you work in my office, in which case it’s totally acceptable to view. The song can be found on the album “Gloss Drop”, out June 7 in the US.

This is the first track off of The Antlers follow up to 2009′s Hospice, Burst Apart due out on Frenchkiss 5/10. You can stream the entire album before its official release at NPR’s First Listen.
