You know the costume parties where everyone gets lazy or cops out-- bad sweaters, sunglasses, funny hats-- and then someone shows up in a full-on gorilla suit? That would be Battles, the unlikely instrumental supergroup featuring four serious musicians from far-flung backgrounds who congealed into one elastic, impishly inhuman groove machine on this year's Mirrored . Displaying humor and charm without words, yet still feeling authorless and monolithic, the album calls attention only to its machinations: The most endurance-testing riffs, the most tweaked vocals, the tallest crash cymbals. Other artists preened, strutted, crooned, and sauntered to the top in 2007, but from their jaw-dropping half-man/half-laptop/all-amazing compositions down to their design sense, no one showed up to the party as prepared as Battles.
