Sounds of Twilight: The 5 Best Songs From the Twilight Soundtracks | Rocks Off | Houston | Houston Press | The Leading Independent News Source in Houston, Texas
Battles has to be one of the weirdest bands to break into the mainstream in years. Apparently to get this on the Eclipse soundtrack (2010), Battles had to re-record it three times, with edits suggested by the film's producers. You can really tell, because this is a far more accessible-sounding Battles.
Regardless, it maintains all of the group's charm, with a break reminiscent of Animal Collective and guitar squeals in the background taken straight from a Scary Monsters-era Bowie track, which eventually turns into an extended polka-rock fusion outro.
