FUCK BUTTONS’ ‘TAROT SPORT’ OUT TODAY! ALBUM LISTENING PARTY IN NYC TOMORROW NORTH AMERICAN TOUR TO BEGIN NEXT MONTH

Fuck Buttons’ blistering new album, Tarot Sport, is out in the US today via ATP Recordings. An album listening party will be held at (le) Poisson Rouge tomorrow evening, October 21st at 6:30 pm. Free drinks will be provided. No RSVP necessary.

IF YOU HAVE NOT HEARD TAROT SPORT, PLEASE REQUEST A DOWNLOAD LINK TODAY!

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.

Fuck Buttons will be embarking on a North American tour in support of Tarot Sport beginning next month.

SOULFUL SINGER TO RELEASE HER “NEARLY LOST” BLUE NOTE DEBUT SPILT MILK TODAY

Today, October 20, Blue Note Records will release Spilt Milk, the stunning debut album from singer Kristina Train. After a run of opening dates with Chris Isaak last month, Kristina is hitting the road again opening for Keb’ Mo’ and Susan Tedeschi, giving audiences around the country an early chance to hear her perform the affecting songs from her debut in a live setting.

“In showbiz you need flashy costumes and talent,” said Isaak. “I have the flashy costumes, Kristina has the talent! She is really an amazing singer. I am a fan like everybody else who hears her voice… She is that good.”

With Spilt Milk, Kristina—who was born in New York City and raised in Savannah, Georgia—has made an urbane, soulful, and lush debut that showcases her stunning voice. As a vocalist, she alternates between gentle balladeering and powerful belting, her bluesy vibrato revealing the breadth and elegance of a young Dusty Springfield — a little bit London, a little bit Memphis.

Interestingly, Kristina’s story is in many ways the inverse of Springfield’s. In her case it’s the soulful Southern girl with the awe-inspiring voice that heads to London to find inspiration and record her debut statement. Spilt Milk was recorded with Jimmy Hogarth, the sought-after British producer whose recent credits include Duffy, Corinne Bailey Rae, and James Blunt. Powerhouse songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and arranger Eg White (a Grammy Awards Record of the Year nominee earlier this year for Adele’s “Chasing Pavements”) co-wrote most of the songs with Kristina, who delivers them so convincingly that the words could be pages torn from her diary.

A potentially devastating turn of events during the recording sessions revealed a great deal about the determination and patience with which Kristina has pursued her dream. After having recorded most of the album, a disastrous computer glitch resulted in the deletion of nearly all the music that had been completed. What might have been a crushing blow to a lesser individual, Kristina instead turned into inspiration, rallying her cohorts and re-cutting the vanished material with even more passion. The experience even provided her with an album title, because there’s no sense in crying over spilt milk.

ABOUT KAE SUN:
The most captivating quality of up and coming artist Kae Sun is not the ease with which he switches from singing to rapping or the fact that his records are influenced by a variety of musical styles. But rather, it is his distinctively heart felt vocal delivery coupled with his ability to communicate passionately through poetic lyrics.

Born Kwaku Darko-Mensah Jr in Accra, Ghana Kae’s childhood was steeped in culture and community. His earliest musical inspiration came from diverse sources: the church choir, his dad’s soul records, the roots reggae blaring on the streets of Accra, traditional Ghanaian folk chants and the hip-life music on the radio. These elements fused to form the foundation of Kae Sun’s unique and powerful musical style that continues to change and grow.

Kae grew up in an environment where performance was a way of life. Kae spent most of his childhood without a television so music, books and story telling heavily influenced him. Whether it was song or story, emotionally powerful performance was a constant part of daily life. Kae found his own passion for performance while attending the prestigious Achimota School noted for educating some of Africa’s most influential leaders. At weekly talent shows, Kae and his peers began performing covers of popular American rap records. He also began to write original lyrics and poetry while learning to play guitar and piano.

In 2001, Kae entered a new chapter of his life when he left his family and moved to Hamilton, Ontario to complete high school and attend university. Kae continued to perform and write music, while jumping into the local hip-hop scene by performing at open mics and freestyle battles around town. He also became a part of a short-lived hip-hop group that opened for Damian Marley.

With a renewed faith, Kae Sun decided to pursue a full-fledged musical career. He quickly became more interested in a greater variety of modes of self-expression. He began to take a more sincere approach towards music while introducing live instruments and singing to his repertoire. He became more interested in diverse styles of music using the likes of Neil Young and Bob Dylan to help broaden his creative palette. Kae Sun began studying the production notes and performances of these classic musicians in order to understand what made them so effective.

Armed with these new tools, Kae Sun recorded his first full-length demo record. It generated a buzz that earned him a 2006 Hamilton Music Award. Fueled by the success of his demo, Kae released his debut EP Ghost Town Prophecy and went on a successful tour performing with Canadian musical giants Shad K, K-OS and Bedouin Soundclash, as well as at festivals such as Hillside Music Festival, the Toronto Jazz Festival and Pop Montreal.

Kae Sun is now based in Toronto and continues to perform. He maintains his diverse style performing solo acoustic or with a band and released his debut full length album “Lion on a Leash” on Toronto-based label URBNET Recordings on October 6th, 2009. The album is a product of Kae Sun’s experience and what he has learned on his musical journey. In addition to producing many of the tracks on this record himself, Kae was able work with an array of his favourite musicians such as Mr. Something Something, Vanderpark, Miles Jones and Voices of Savannah.
