Limited vinyl, 300 copies only. Batteries is the self-titled debut solo album by Steven Clark (professionally known as Sci-Fi Steven) from bis. An exercise in short, sharp new-wave snappiness, Steven has ramped up the guitars and latent aggression to create a new sound. Nagging melodies abound with some darker twists and a cynical sense of positivity informs the lyrics. There's plenty of pop hooks for the bis faithful, but Batteries is an angrier beast.
