Fuck Buttons
Street Horrrsing (ATP Recordings / La Baleine)

Last incarnation of a noisy-pop and experimental supersonic, the English duo Fuck Buttons is a link between the ultimate extravagance harsh noise-currents current industrial and post-rock groups as transcendental Black Dice or Mogwai. A success all respects.
 
 

  Long confined to the margins of various existing music (pop, electro, rock, jazz), the noise-music appeared in more than a decade - say from the beginning of 90 years and Loveless My Bloody Valentine - pending d A group capable of rhyme and magic white noise in a melodic combination sufficiently effective and integrates for not betray any of these two components. With this Horrrsing Street, the duo Fuck Buttons figure could well be new contenders. Built on massive interlacing drones grainy and spectral melodies, the music of Andrew and Benjamin Hung John Power is surprisingly accessible. The melodies that haunt literally pieces like "Sweet love for planet Earth" or "Okay, let's talk about magic" are immediately identifiable, almost childish behind their third sautillants agreements, sometimes adopting a minimalist frame dancing, as on the vibrionnant "Bright tomorrow," or camouflaging themselves behind a bestiary sound worthy of early Animal Collective ( "Colours move"). But the scene that sertit stands like a wall of barbed wire hypnotic. The slicks grésillantes frequencies are flowing honey ears, sometimes ripping the atmosphere, sometimes hovering above bits music as a threat ghost, while saturated and hurlés voice in the background of two terrorists to apply sound invoke the spirits of subversive Whitehouse and others. Behind the obvious melodic sound nihilism operates watermark, bringing a clear Fuck Buttons groups are usually playing structures and other skins post-noise as Mogwai - John Cummings, their producer, is also the levers - or Black Dice. What the listener call-hungry major differences sound.
