Battles - "My Machines" [ft. Gary Numan]

Battles went and made a video for “My Machines,” the collab with electro-pop god Gary Numan that shows up on their Gloss Drop album. The clip, from the directing team DANIELS, tells the story about a guy falling slowly and dramatically down the up escalator at a mall, never able to get up or to reach the bottom. Battles and Numan rock out unconcernedly around him. Maybe it’s a sort of modern-age Sisyphean parable, and maybe it’s just a fucking great low-budget music video.
