Self-described Portland, Ore. “slacker rockers” Battleme recently announced the arrival of their third studio album. It’s called Habitual Love Songs and it’s out Jan. 15. Billboard has the exclusive first listen of the first new track — a spooky, infectious rocker with a killer Queens of the Stone Age-style groove.
Check out the music video for “Shake Shake” below:
“’Shake Shake’ was the first song I wrote for the new record,“ frontman Matt Drenik tells Billboard. “I wanted something that felt heavy, both lyrically and musically, and encompassed the idea of touring for a year.”
