Album Description 2009 sophomore album from the British Experimental duo, produced by Andrew Weatherall. With Tarot Sport, all the indications are that Fuck Buttons are gonna follow in the footsteps of the likes of Animal Collective and have one massive crossover album on their hands. The album is one of unbound possibility and lucid cohesion; a cerebral pilgrimage that refines, crafts, explores and develops the experimental aesthetic of last year's critically acclaimed debut, Street Horrrsing. Tarot Sport takes things 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 that Fuck Buttons immersed themselves in, strived for and achieved with startling results. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsThe Sonic Possibilities of Modern Music Quentin Compsen | 12/09/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "Let's see, the band's name is pointlessly vulgar, the album and song names seem to have come out of a random word generator, there's no singing, no melody and the songs are endlessly repetitive, all of which makes for a record that is...utterly thrilling! If Steve Reich, Brian Eno ("Another Green World") and Primal Scream ("Xtrmntr") had a love child, this record would be it. And that's a good thing. If you insist that pop music must consist of standard verse and chorus, with neatly structured melodies and singing, this isn't for you. But if you are open to the sonic possibilities of modern music, this is one mind-blowing record. FB manages to make music that is mind-pulverizing, fantastically energizing and cerebral all at the same time, a pretty impressive trick. What they do best is layer sound and rhythms and counter-rhythms together, and then keep adding more and more layers until the songs build into something of staggering proportion. Yet order somehow comes out of chaos. "Olympians" is the best track, which builds into an organ chord progression (all of this probably comes out of a synthesizer) that is nothing short of majestic. The organ then recedes and gives way to a series of high synthesizer tones that is, yes, wonderfully melodic. "Lisbon Maru" isn't far behind, with its devastating fuzz-bass-like riffs and marching-band-on-speed drumming. My only complaint is with the last track, "Phantom Limbs," which is marred by cheesy grade-B sci fi movie sound effects. If FB can build on the best ideas here, they could come up with some amazing stuff. To me, this is the best record of 2009, edging out other great indie records by Animal Collective, Antlers, Grizzly Bear, etc. If you're open to a little adventure and aren't afraid of a little sonic chaos, you should check this out. (I can't believe I'm only the 3rd reviewer -- this stuff needs to be heard!)" Addictive Josh Bubbles | 01/11/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "And I thought I wouldn't like this! There aren't a whole lot of ideas on this album, but the Buttons manage to throw together a nice, cohesive, if sonically punishing, album that pulsates with life, beauty, and infectious beats." Unknown, but not for long Anton | Washington, DC | 01/07/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "Buy this now! A new adjective should b invented to describe how good this is. Totally infectious."
