You can stream the whole thing at AOL (and at MySpace), and see them play for free at South Street Seaport in NYC on August 31st.

Drowned in Sound recently spoke with Battles member Tyondai Braxton

What about the possibility of remixes? Mirrored sounds like an LP crying out for a series of awesome remixes, if you get what I mean…

We’re totally open to that – ‘Atlas’ had a remix on it. Actually, it would be cool to get a whole remix album of Mirrored, that’s a good idea.

Stars remixedPitchfork recently reviewed the new Stars remix album.

In recent years, everyone from Death From Above 1979 to Architecture in Helsinki to Bloc Party have succumbed to the temptation to create indie remix albums. Now we’re faced with Stars’ Do You Trust Your Friends?, which we may someday see as the tipping point from indie rock remix albums being idle, indulgent fan-club novelties to becoming inescapable annoyances.

So, to remix or not to remix? All Battles tour dates below…..
