Fuck Buttons

With suitcases full of cheap electronics, mouths crammed with toy microphones, and an air of giddy nihilism, Bristol duo Fuck Buttons comes off like Mad Max’s Junkyard Gang, building towering sheets of droning, doomsayer static out of whatever’s lying around. On 2008's Street Horrrsing, warm keyboards create coronas of blissful melody that peek around the black hole of industrial wreckage, while pulsating tribal rhythms suggest the apocalypse has a beat you can dance to. Last year's Tarot Sport captures that unwieldy energy and bends it into recognizable shapes, turning its unpredictable epics into masterpieces of pacing and strange beauty.
