Battles are releasing their new album, La Di Da Di, on September 18 via their longtime label Warp. It’s the band’s third full-length and their first since 2011’s Gloss Drop. Previously they have shared the album’s near-7-minute long opening track, “The Yabba,” along with an album making-of documentary and a four-song live session.
