FUCK BUTTONS: OLYMPIANS

Discosalt Video of the Week 5/4/10: On April 12th, experimental, dance minded noise group Fuck Buttons will digitally release their new single “Olympians“, as well as release the song on limited edition 12” vinyl in five different colors (one for each Olympic ring). While “Olympians” first appeared as a 10-minute track on 2009’s Tarot Sport, the vinyl will feature remixes from Spiritualized’s J. Spaceman and Suicide’s Alan Vega. There is also a trippy 3D hidden-image sleeve designed by the band. For more info and to order check out atprecordings.com. For a noise group, Fuck Buttons are surprisingly accessible, dropping a dreamy mix of sheen melodic undercurrents and abrasive climaxes. A style that hints less towards unwelcome noise and more towards Yo La Tengo, My Bloody Valentine, Purient, and Black Dice. The bands new low-budget kung-fu video for Olympians is out now and you can check it out below.
“Olympians” Tracklist:
01. Olympians
02. Olympians (Spaceman vs The Olympians) – Remix by J. Spaceman
03. Rough Steez (White Hot Heat Remix) – Remix by Alan Vega
