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,
