CD & 2LP (ATP)
Fuck Buttons pleasantly surprised everyone with their debut Street Horrrsing; obviously there was the suspicion around Pitchfork’s “pat-on-the-bum to fame”, but hey why not… let’s get more people into noisy-electronic music! The British duo return with Tarot Sport, a ramped up techno-ish take on the ultraviolet spectrums of noise that garnered all that praise for Street Horrrsing. “Surf Solar” kicks things of like a rave for witches; cackling melodic static over throbbing bass & kick drums. Equal parts shoegaze/techno/drone, Fuck Buttons are a nice respite from the throes of Animal Collective imitators & indie-popsters that dominate everyone’s attention spans.
