Greetings readers,
How are we? Just wanted to share Fuck Buttons' new 7" (edited) release, Surf Solar. This version has been edited down to under 4 minutes, though unsurprisingly, the album version will be over 10 minutes long. Once again, FB have come up trumps. Like a natural extension to their incredible first LP, "Street Horrrsing", Surf Solar has the trademark 4x4 kick-drum, discordant guitars, beautiful key changes and shimmering synths. At the same time the tune sounds fucked up and tortured yet retains a wonderful sonic sheen. Epic doesn't begin to decribe it. I cannot wait to hear the full 10-minute version, and for the release of the new album, "Tarot Sport", produced by Andrew Weatherall (legend), on October 12th. My fingers will be poised, ready for download. Am hoping to drum up some support and see FB on October 27th at Heaven for their only London tour date this year.
Elsewhere, I'd like to give you a heads up of a friend's new night called "Outfield" at Berlin's hottest, newest club, "Dice". Indeed two good friends of mine will be playing, Raw Hedroom and Max Cooper, with Maetrik headlining in Room 1 and Jay Shepheard in Room 2. Will be expecting high-quality house and techno throughout. Anyhow, will be flying out to Berlin next Friday for a few days, and cannot wait! Have never been before and only heard great things about the city.
Will also be moving back to London next week in anticipation of my Masters at the LSE. Have found a really nice flat with a live-in owner in South Tottenham, near the Stamford Hill border. Will be getting my fresh Challah and bagels in regularly!
Currently listening to surprise surprise, Surf Solar, by Fuck Buttons.
Thanks for reading.
Peace,
F.
