Mirrored

Mirrored, Battles' 2007 debut studio album, blends math rock precision with electronic production and experimental post-rock textures. It features complex interlocking rhythms, looping guitars and synths, and distinctive processed vocals by Tyondai Braxton that act as a rhythmic and melodic element, most prominently on the track Atlas. The album's tight grooves and layered sound design helped establish Battles' approach to merging rock instrumentation with electronic manipulation.
