"Ice Cream" is the first and lead single by American experimental rock band, Battles featuring Chilean-German musical artist, Matias Aguayo, off their second studio album, Gloss Drop via Warp Records.[1]
Released on May 23, 2011, the physical version of the single features three limited edition variants of cover art and matching vinyl (in Strawberry, Banana and Chocolate).[2] and consists of an additional instrumental of the song and a b-side, entitled "Black Sundome".
The music video, released May 9 2011, was directed and produced by Luís Cerveró and Spanish production collective, CANADA respectively and features a random series of vignettes and scenes unrelated to one another, intercut with the group and Aguayo performing the song.[3] [4]
The video has been noted, for being visually reminiscent of Spanish musical artist, El Guincho's music video, Bombay (also produced by CANADA.)[5] Pitchfork placed "Ice Cream" at number 47 in its list of "The Top 100 Tracks of 2011".[6]
