[VINYL] Fuck Buttons – Olympians
Straight out of the disco-dance-hall of the apocalypse comes Bristol two-piece Fuck Buttons, who, after their unrelenting debut Street Horrrsing, return with sophomore effort Tarot Sport.
“Olympians” is the second single to be released off Tarot Sport and to mark the occasion, ATP released it on vinyl in five colours to represent the Olympic Rings. In hindsight (read: fucking shit wallet), I only purchased two, which is quite clearly a novice error and I need to sort it while I still can (such is the bullshit eBay collecting world)
Anyway, in true Fuck Buttons style, “Olympians” is a swirling, messy dreamscape of fuzz, white noise and subtle circuit-bent leads. It’s abrasive yet suitably soothing, however if you’re a fan of music with ever-changing dynamics or familiar ‘dance’ style, perhaps this is not for you, if however you can take deafening yourself with Fisher Price toys whilst rubbing your face off with builders sandpaper, this could be up your street.
With the 2012 olympics on the horizon, I’d like to think of “Olympians” as the new Chariots of Fire.
