FUCK BUTTONS TO TOUR IN SUPPORT OF NEW ALBUM ‘TAROT SPORT’ AVAILABLE OCTOBER 20, 2009

Fuck Buttons will be touring this November in support of their blistering new album, Tarot Sport. The follow-up to their debut album – last year’s critically acclaimed Street Horrrsing – Tarot Sport will be available October 20, 2009 on ATP Recordings.

Fuck Buttons, the duo of Andrew Hung and Benjamin John Power, recorded Tarot Sport at Rotters Golf Club Studio in London with the legendary DJ, producer and remixer Andrew Weatherall on production duties. The results of this pairing are astounding. Tarot Sport is an album in which Fuck Buttons continue to refine, craft, explore and develop the experimental aesthetic of Street Horrrsing. However, they also take proceedings to another level through a combination of their own ambitious aims and the application of Weatherall’s clear-sighted, rule-defying precision and attention to sonic detail. The seven tracks on the album reflect a new-found complexity of sound and a more layered depth to the recordings; recordings that pushed everyone to the limit of their abilities. As Power says, “I think it sounds a lot thicker than our previous work…our brains kind of went into meltdown”.
