Additional InformationMinus Tyondai Braxton, Battles returns as a trio with a set of songs that are challenging, catchy, and surprisingly versatile.
Reviews4.5 stars out of 5-- "Well paced and thoroughly engaging, the Braxton-less Battles have accomplished the seemingly impossible with GLOSS DROP: They've actually gotten better.", "GLOSS DROP, with its syncopated beats and chiming new-wave keyboards, dials up the warmth from their math-y, angular debut and injects far more humanity than most dance records allow." -- Grade: B+, 4 stars out of 5 -- "GLOSS DROP is an exuberant joy....This time around there's a sense of visceral abandon from the outset, which is at once thrilling and more accessible.", "GLOSS DROP is an immersion in abstract tonalities, with Tropicalia-touched dark minimalism, tetchy arrhythmic strings, and propulsive funk.", "'Toddler' recalls The Residents, while 'Rolls Bayce', with its stuttering drums and zaps of music-box melody, sounds like the group justifying their presence on the Warp roster....A triumph, and a major evolutionary leap.", "Gary Numan lends his robotic howl to 'My Machines'...and Matias Aguayo transforms into a biological drum machine on lead single 'Ice Cream.'"
