Free Music Notes for Street Horrrsing
Free Music Review: I'm certain I've done this before...
Hit: 5 Stars
Street Horrrsing is essentially one long trip. Every track bleeding into the next seemlessly (unless you're using a crummy music player which automatically puts a pause between each track, like I am), and from the opening notes of hope in Sweet Love for Planet Earth, you find yourself wading into an endless ocean of sound. The water getting deeper and deeper the further in you go, dragging you down and enveloping you completely before you even realize it. The occasional spot of brightness trying to rip through the all the noise and fear, but ultimately losing out to the darkness. But then finally, a light shines as you reach Bright Tomorrow, easily the most accessible track of the album. It grabs hold of this one little synth hook and doesn't let go, instead letting it build and build until there is just too much for it to support itself and it finally explodes into a fiery ball of distortion, noisy fuzz grinding away with the I'm-being-murdered screams pleading to be heard through it all. It's like a hand to grab hold of to pull yourself up from the depths, a hand that pats you on the back afterwards and makes you smile and think that you're going to be fine , before it pushes you back into that deep dark as it swells towards it's climax and finally gives way to the album's final track, Colours Move. By the time it begins, you're left flailing about madly in the waters, unsure of what exactly awaits you. The droning distortion is soon undercut by an almost tribal drumbeat which is soon joined by another cautiously optimistic synth part. Maybe you're really going to make it? The haunting, inhuman cries from the second track, Ribs Out, jump in as well, followed soon after by that ever-present screaming, and it all comes full circle. Everything sort of starts to make sense, you feel like you're a part of it now, and not a victim of it. And then it all cuts out and you're left with the sound of sunlight dancing on water until it just stops.
Then it's over. And you're left rubbing your eyes from the sudden burst of daylight, wondering "Did I just survive that?"
Street Horrrsing Poster
Street Horrrsing, the debut record from the Bristol-based duo Fuck Buttons, is not easy?or even intermediate?listening. It's controlled noise, composed primarily of cranked, droning fuzz, wandering songs and heavily distorted vocals that sound disembodied, like a horde of angry poltergeists. But, as with other purveyors of contained chaos like Mogwai or (at their most adventurous) Deerhunter, Fuck Buttons take great care to bury melodies just close enough to the surface for us to manage a foothold in the swirling clamor. And while this is intensely serious music, the record isn't too haughty for bouts of whimsy; "Bright Tomorrow" opens with a dance club beat that feels alien, only to be incorporated back into the whole by the cacophonous finale. Throughout, the use of rhythm works to Horrrsing's advantage, as tribal drums are used to punch up both dark moments ("Okay Let's Talk About Magic") and lighter ones ("Colours Move"). Listening to Fuck Buttons is like drowning?you start off struggling, but then resignation comes. In the end, you drift into the unknown, smiling contentedly. --Matthew CookeAlternative Rock Music CDs
