Fuck Buttons are back, new album, on tour.

London based experimental two piece Fuck Buttons have released the first scratch of new material from their upcoming second album the Tarot Sport LP - the eagerly anticipated follow-up to 2008's brilliantly received assembly of drones Street Horrrsing. Recorded with legendary producer Andrew Weatherall, the band are already calling the product of their time in the studio 'the most exciting document' they've produced thus far, and have released a shortened version of the lead title for our eager ears to hear.

Surf Solar is some of the most cutting material Fuck Buttons have churned up since that hard hitting remix of Fever Ray they did last year. In a cut down, single-size version measuring up at around 3 and a half minutes, Surf Solar drives forward at break-neck speeds - a searing sonic landscape of crackling samples, glitch percussion and whirring synthesized effects. The result is an electronic web of shoegazing melody lines and rattling, tribal rhythms.

The full album will be heading our way for October 12th, following a full UK tour in September with friends, the 'tropical thrash' band Zun Zun Egui.
