How Mogwai (or even Sigur Rós) sounds like if they play electronic music? Maybe it would be something like "Street Horrsing" the first album of British duo Fuck Buttons, recorded, by the way, with the collaboration of John Cummings, one of the Mogwai guitarists. Frequently crossing the border to noise and experimental music, this guys from Bristol deliver, in just 6 pieces, over 50 minutes of intense and quite cerebral electronic music, in which, perhaps in some kind of conceptual album, the songs are not only linked but almost all of them revolve over the same musical idea using the same elements, structures and sounds that makes us feel like the whole album is just one song executed cyclically with different nuances. Music that comes in waves, with dreamy beginnings that rising gradually until reach epic climaxes in which we are overwhelmed by uncontained loops, deranged screams and distorted voices. Despite its repetitive and mechanical nature, the music from "Street Horrrsing" flows so playful and somehow, behind laptops, keyboards and other toys we can feel the "human" touch of Andrew Hung and Benjamin John Power. First class electronic music, barely suited for the dance floor and absolutely freaky. -CORANNIEIT-
