I delayed listening to the Fuck Buttons for about a month purely because of their name. Who wants to listen to a band that takes their band name so jokingly? The carelesness with which they make the name could say something about the carelesness with which they make their music.
This could not be more unequivocally wrong for this band, as their debut album Street Horrsing features expertly crafted layerings of reverd, melody and distortion. Most of the songs are more than seven minutes in length, but not once does it feel like the record is dragging on, as is the case for most badly produced techno. Fuck Buttons blend of electronic synthesizers and flute like noises combine for a definitively unique experience in the world of noise. |
