"Mirrored" is the critically acclaimed debut full-length album by American experimental band Battles, released on May 14, 2007 in the United Kingdom, and on May 22, 2007 in the United States. This is the first time the band has incorporated vocals into their songs, as the previous EPs were completely instrumental (aside from beatboxing on the tracks "Dance" and "Fantasy"). The first single from the album, "Atlas", was released in the UK on April 2, 2007, and has been used in the Playstation 3 game LittleBigPlanet, in the level 'The Construction Site'. "Mirrored" appeared on 2007 top album lists from several publications, including Time, NME, The Guardian, and Pitchfork.
