Fuck Buttons – Phantom Limb
Biografia
Fuck Buttons are a two-piece electronic group formed in Bristol, England early in 2004 by Andrew Hung (born 27 January 1982) and Benjamin John Power.[1]
Hung and Power grew up in Worcester, and both wrote music while growing up.[2][3] Hung was influenced by Aphex Twin, while Power was a fan of post-rock band Mogwai.[3] They developed a friendship in 2004 while attending art school in Bristol,[2] and began working together, initially to create the soundtrack to a film made by Hung.[3] Immediately after forming, they played live whenever possible, soon amassing a cult following.
Hung and Power use a variety of instruments including casiotone keyboards and children’s toys such as a Fisher-Price karaoke machine.[3] Their name was chosen to sound “playful and abrasive”.[3]
Time Out magazine described the band’s live sound as “adrenaline pumping, ear purging slab of towering, pristine noise…”.[4] The duo signed to All Tomorrow’s Parties-affiliated ATP Recordings in 2007, and released a limited-edition 7” single named “Bright Tomorrow”,[1] which received complimentary reviews from such sources as Drowned in Sound, Pitchfork Media (who described it as “something like the sun rising over the ocean… then going supernova”[5]), Mojo (it became their #1 Mojo Playlist Single for that month) and Stereogum.
Combined with an upsurge in reviews of their live performances at the Supersonic, Truck and Portishead-curated ATP festivals in the second half of 2007, this attention resulted in Fuck Buttons being included in many end of year newspaper, magazine and online articles predicting them as a ‘Hot Tip’ for 2008.
