The Stranger

Tarot Sport, the latest album from Fuck Buttons, makes the leap from abrasive noise band to WTF quasi dance act seem too easy: Just add tones to your washes of white noise, throw in a bag of beats, and splice everything up to the rhythm track. The album's seven generous cuts seem to loop endlessly, imperceptibly intensifying and subtly shifting, with sun-flaring static giving way to battering tribal drum loops, and everything climaxing in unexpectedly sweeping melodies. Expect the duo's live show to sear your ears and move your body in extremely odd ways. (Chop Suey, 1325 E Madison St, 324-8000. 8 pm, $10, 21+.) by Eric Grandy
