Battles featuring Sal Principato “Titanium 2 Step”

The best Battles songs seem exaggerated and surreal, pushing commonplace sounds like drum hits and guitar strums to odd extremes that make you wonder if a human could really play what you’ve just heard. “Titanium 2 Step” does this trick mainly in a bit that sounds like the end of a riff has been suddenly and drastically pitched up before returning to the base tempo. There’s also a cartoonish springiness to the track, like it’s this big bouncy castle of chords and beats that Liquid Liquid vocalist Sal Principato is bopping around in, shouting with incoherent glee the whole time. What a weird and joyful song.
