The May 15 release of Battles' first full-length album, Mirrored, can't come soon enough. Fortunately, longtime fans and recent "Atlas" converts don't have to wait to see the band live because they kick off a world tour tonight in Baltimore.

Battles will make the jump from North America to Europe in May, and they will continue to tour just barely into June.
