I came across Battle of Mice by detour. I first heard about singer Julie Christmas and her band Made Out of Babies in a short documentary on the French-German TV program Arte and found their music interesting. Then, in 2006 I heard that Pere Ubu guitarist Tony Maimone and Book of Knots drummer Joel Hamilton were putting a band together with her and releasing the album Day of Nights (which would remain their only one). Allmusic.com calls the band a "post-metal/post-rock supergroup of sorts" and that pretty much describes their music, which I'm very fond of: it's very dark, heavy and at times a bit artsy, but always intriguing.
