Watch: Battlekat – The Pain (Best Fit Session)
Towards the tail end of last year, we met with Copenhagen based wunderkinds Battlekat to set about filming their first ever officially commissioned live session. Performed in front of an intimate London audience, the quartet treated us to a remarkable version of last year’s blog monster hit ‘The Pain’. Coated in a soft violet light, the ice cold tones throb and pulse over Matilde Böcher’s unmistakable vocals – reminding us exactly what made us fall so hard for the group back in the early days of Spring 2011.
As a special treat, we’ve uploaded the audio track of this very session to Soundcloud as a free download. Special thanks go out to Battlekat’s Jeppe Madsen for his mixing skills on the track.
Battlekat play at Holland’s Eurosonic festival, this Friday (13 January) at De Beurs. More info on the complete Eurosonic lineup can be found here.
