F*ck Buttons

F*ck Buttons' second album features Two Lone Swordsmen's Andrew Weatherall on the boards, but don't expect another Screamadelica. Laying into savage, techno-ready kick drums and cranking the synths and guitars well into the red, the Bristol band achieves a rare fusion of dance-music form and oozing, psychedelic content. "Olympians" is throbbing fluo-pop that sounds like a niced-up HEALTH; "Phantom Limb" turns This Heat's metallic clang into bracing, wind-tunnel funk. It's ecstatic, mind-bending stuff, and it might just change the way you think about "rock" and "electronic music" alike.
