B (Battles EP)

B (Battles EP) is an extended play (EP) by the American instrumental rock band Battles, released in 2004. It was the band's debut release and features four tracks: "Tras," "Hi/Lo," "Dance," and "BTTLS."

The EP is notable for showcasing Battles' signature sound, characterized by complex rhythms, looped textures, and a blend of math rock, electronic, and post-rock influences. "Tras" and "Hi/Lo" are particularly well-regarded for their intricate drum patterns and interlocking guitar riffs. "Dance" introduces a more melodic element, while "BTTLS" serves as a more experimental and ambient piece.

B (Battles EP) helped establish Battles as a significant new act in the experimental music scene, attracting critical attention and a dedicated following. It was followed by the band's debut full-length album, Mirrored, in 2007. The EP remains a popular entry point for listeners interested in exploring Battles' discography.
