Last year, British partners-in-feedback Andrew Hung and Benjamin John Power (Damn, that is one stately-ass name!), better known together as Fuck Buttons, released their debut album Street Horrrsing (TMT Review) to what the internet calls “generally favorable reviews”. By all accounts it would appear the drony duo have been enjoying the fruits of their success, choosing to pass the long hours b

As many of you are well aware, UK duo Fuck Buttons are responsible for making some of the most genre defying, hypnotizing, trance inducing sounds most of us have ever heard. (Think Steve Reich meets Collections of Colonies of Bees meets Geotic) Their LP debut Street Horrrsing, which was met with a number of laudatory [...]

Fuck Buttons + Growing: 4 November 2009 - DC9, Washington DC / Words and Pictures by Mehan JayasuriyaUpon ascending the stairs at DC9 Wednesday night, I was greeted by a haze of digital chirps and static. Growing, a three-piece noise outfit from Brooklyn, had already launched into their set and I couldn't make heads or tails of what I was hearing. Order did start to emerge from the chaos, howev...

The UK duo return, this time nimbler and more adept.The first Fuck Buttons LP, last year’s Street Horrrsing, sprawled without actually doing anything. Empty gestures and energy directed towards no eventualities. Folk were disarmed by their readiness to balance the noise with big melodic statements, but it was done without finesse. Their live shows around the time were predictable in the way the.

We’ve been hot on the heels of this release ever since it’s astonishing album cover (above) became a public image. The word trippy, however hackneyed the phrase may be, seems a pretty apt way of describing the alien design, and it left fans in eager anticipation of a release equally as alien and starting. The [...]

Fuck Buttons’ latest album, “Tarot Sport” is due out 15th October after leaking last month. All of the reviews that I have read so far have had to resort to inventing ridiculous superlatives in a futile effort to describe this indescribable record. However, there is some sort of debate as to whether “Tarot Sport” is more pop than avant-garde. The Quietus proclaimed it as a masterpiece

I doubt there's much more to it than coincidence, but Hua Hsu's Slate piece on "fuck" bands couldn't be better timed. It runs, of course, on the same day that the guy who questioned-- at first humorously, then later, quite seriously-- the same sort of linguistic propriety in a completely different era passed away. This passage from Hsu's piece is especially relevant:But protections against ind...

Reviews of the 2008 album ??Street Horrrsing?? by the Fuck Buttons are pretty hysterical. By hysterical I mean it seems this album instills laughter and fright in people. It’s been a while since I’ve had an album that unnerved me a little bit. I like the feeling and this album really caught me off guard. It’s filled with layers upon layers of reverberating, delayed, distorted noise. Tha
