THE PRESETS: My People

Australian electrorockers, The Presets are resetting to release their second collection on the Modular imprint. Its familiar territory for the band- blended punk, industrial and electroclash influences, with pseudo-fascist, art-star overtones so lovingly associated with German avant guarde deconstructionalists with names like Dieter, Otto or Rolf. The multiplying-man kaleidoscopic effect is courtesy of director Kris Moyes, band member sibling and cliptip experimental director to watch. Watch the music video (qt).

BATTLES: Atlas

Can anyone categorize the sound of Battles? Is it prog rock, electro rock, glam rock, alt rock or psychedelica? I've got no idea, but this first video from their latest long player Mirrors is a rollicking thumper with weird vocal overlays and serious T. Rex percussion. The video is a beauty: glass boxed, dynamic angles and vivid rich colour saturations directed by photographer Timothy Saccenti. Cheers to tipster Jesse M. Watch the music video (qt).
