What does this button do?

Meet the Fuck Buttons. A two-piece experimental group based in London, England.

That's all the bio says. It sort of leaves things a bit open really. I mean, experimental is a very expansive word. The bands name alone suggests they aren't looking for a top 40 hit. Between you and me, I think it's safe to say that these experiments make a bit of a racket.

"Colours Move" from their debut album, "Street Horrrsing" sounds like a massive industrial accident at thrash metal god Al Jourgensen's house. To say it's abrasive is to say Tiger Woods marriage is going through a bad patch.

You see what i'm getting at? I think it's great but it's going to annoy more people than it wins over. Your parents are gonna hate it. Your neighbours are gonna hate it. Graham is really gonna hate it.

And here's the rub, i like falling asleep to it.

As some of you will know, I was adopted at 6 months old, and i'd like to think the nuns who were looking after me to that point were into some really fucked up lullabies.

It could happen.

Perhaps it's the drone, perhaps it's the white noise, perhaps it's the layers of repetition of what sounds like monkeys having a fight on a casio keyboard, whatever it is, i find it strangely hypnotic.

Last year Fuck Buttons released their second album, "Tarot Sport", from this album comes "Lesbon Maru". It's more palatable that some of the other stuff and has a neat unofficial video courtesy of MTV Asia's wicked-cool short anime film Codehunters.

I'm trying to make this bit easy for you, go with me on this.

It might well be the strangest meditation music you ever heard, but then some people think cricket is interesting to watch.

Each to their own.

Let me know what you think.
