Reading reviews of this album makes one thing clear to me: I don't know dick about the genre or genres this band technically belongs to. One review started rattling off the names of 80's artists that I don't think I've ever heard of and, man, the 80's phase I went through when I was 12 was intense. Another started going on about electro (a genre I couldn't begin to define for you if you asked me, which goes for most music genres that have a lot of 'eck' syllables in them) and other bands, and the only thing that stuck out to me there was No Age, but Battles doesn't sound like this.

Yet no one says anything about how this sounds a lot like Holy Fuck. Not a one. Except me, of course: this sounds like Holy Fuck, to me, and I like it. I think I picked it up simply because something said it was similar to Holy Fuck. It is similar. I like the band name Holy Fuck. I could just say it a lot. Holy Fuck! Good for any occasion.

Anyway, I think this song is pretty rad. The album as a whole isn't as strong as this track, but it's close enough that you can't really tell without getting into the molecular level. I also wouldn't say their songs are as entertaining as Holy Fuck's, though I can't quite place my finger on why. If I were to guess I'd say HF song's have a better sense of forward movement and stability. Errors songs sound a little like they might hit a sour note at any moment and bottom out, like a lowrider dodging speed bumps, but they always deftly avoid it and we all sigh in relief.
