The Fuck Buttons new CD, “Street Horrrsing,” knocked me flat on my ass and left me gasping for breath. It’s a little less than fifty minutes of noise, screams, random sounds, fuzz, keyboards . . . A wall of sound generated by two skinny looking geeks from Bristol. It’s new age with tribal industrial overdubs. It’s the beginning and end of music. Almost all of the songs top 7 minutes in length, and each song is a symphony unto itself. Track down the album from ATP recordings, and buy it. This is truly, truly amazing, and a brief sample doesn’t do this revelatory album justice.
It’s like nothing else out there.
