Fuck Buttons, coming forth from the UK with what they're calling "Bright Tomorrow", a 7" Picture Disc, do their jobs very well. "Sweet Love for Planet Earth", which is sadly all I've heard from the duo, starts with a euphonious two-chord arpeggio-sounding progression that willingly subjugates to a slow oncoming distortion that starts up at around 1:10 into the song. This carries beautifully for about 4 minutes while the listener can only hope to wake from this foreboding, otiose encroachment of mental insularity. It is only intensified with undecipherable, distorted half-screaming/croaking at around 5:30; a truly perfect example of how things can be so bad they're good. It gradually dies off like the slow wrinkling decay of a carnation, as if visualized through stop-motion. If you're in Britain, you can purchase the 7" here on the band's myspace under their 'sounds like' section. Recently, the filmmaker-songwriters were signed to ATP/Recordings and are working an an LP, Street Horrrsing, due out in February of next year. you can read some media coverage they've gotten by clicking here and here.
