This is the scene. A dark nightclub basement of the future, strobe lights pulsing. The kids are wired. Sweat is dripping from the low black ceiling. Having it.
Then this tune begins. A twitching, soaring avant-garde piece of gibbering electronica that builds and builds into a colossal wall of sound. It’s a spontaneous audio orgasm, crashing, menacing and utterly delirious. Now everybody is off their faces. Strangers are having sex with each other. Men with women. Boys with girls. Boys with boys. Girls with girls. Everywhere. Wherever you look everyone has blissed out smiles on their ecstatic faces. This is Surf Solar. This is Fuck Buttons
Surf Solar is the lead track from Fuck Buttons second album Tarot Sport. It is worth buying the album purely for this ten minutes and thirty three seconds of cacophonous layered electronica. It’s the sound of the robot armageddon on acid. But this is an album of the year list and Tarot Sport by Fuck Buttons deserves its place at number seven not just because of one track.
Tarot Sport is an album that pushes musical boundaries a little. Whilst there are elements of shoe gaze, electronica, ambient and dance in what Fuck Buttons have produced, it forms a head trip genre all of its own. Tarot Sport is mind-bendingly out there. Every track is constructed to deliver you on a hypnotic, trance like journey. Be ready to immerse yourself.
An electronic post-rock masterpiece? Almost and very nearly. Let's go have sex.
