Battles - My Machines

BATTLES

"My Machines" (feat. Gary Numan)

Battles from Brooklyn. This new single by Battles features Gary Numan and this is an extract of an interview made by NME which you might find interesting... 

"The title was taken from Gary Numan's lyrics. I remember John saying 'We should totally get Gary Numan to sing on the album' which was a total shot in the dark because we didn't think there was any way of getting him to be on the album. We drove up to Boston and he was performing The Pleasure Principle, and we got to see him after the show and it was bizarre... like us just stood outside his dressing room and his manager was like 'Okay, you want to come in and meet Gary?' and we were like yeah that would be great, and we had a CD for him so we went in and he was like 'Hi i'm Gary, pleased to meet you' and we were like 'Hi nice to meet you' and he said 'Yeah i've listened to your track, i like it a lot... it's really fucking weird' and we were like '...Gary Numan's telling us that we're weird' and it was like this is a moment i'm never going to forget. But he was awesome to work with and a total charm."
