UVA take on Battles

United Visual Artists have brought their light installation skills to the promo for Tonto, the next single from acclaimed US band Battles. Produced by Warp Films, the 8-minute video sees the group performing amidst a sea of poles of light – each one responding to the fractured sounds within the track, which is taken from Battles’ recently released album, Mirrored.

The “Tonto +” single (including a bonus DVD) is released in the US on 6 November; 22 October in the rest of the world.

Very interesting..

The white light poles remind me of Star wars, this could be a Jedi convention.

I was expecting it to be cut short into some kind of ‘radio edit’ short version; but it never happened… fantastic.
Artistic integrity on both parts for a whole 8 minutes.
Great location too;

Manager: You want me to fly out my Brooklyn band and all there kit to North Wales to film them with some rocks and lights.

UVA: Yes please
