Battles have shared a new taster of upcoming record La Di Da Di called "The Yabba".
The track is almost seven minutes of techno loops, sleigh bells, gristly post-rock, and Far East hooks. As ever, the rhythms are vital - this is Battles doing what they do best.
La Di Da Di is out 18 September on Warp.
Battles are one of the headliners at this year's Simple Things Festival.
