My brother-in-law sent me a link a couple days ago and I finally got around to checking it out yesterday. The link was straight to a YouTube video by a band called Battles; the song is called "Atlas." Check out the video here.
Who are Battles, you ask? "The group's lineup is composed of well-known musicians, including ex-Helmet drummer John Stanier, ex-Don Caballero guitarist Ian Williams, ex-Lynx guitarist Dave Konopka, and Tyondai Braxton (son of Avantgarde Jazz musician Anthony Braxton), who also plays guitar and keyboard and creates live voice samples."
