Fuck Buttons – “The Red Wing” Video
UK noiseniks Fuck Buttons are back with a record four years in the making, titled Slow Focus. It’s out this summer, which isn’t soon enough. “The Red Wing” is its third track, and the band’s Andrew Hung has made it a video true to the song/album title (very red, less-than-focused). Slow Focus the band’s first self-produced record, so pay attention to what’s happening with the sound: Benjamin and Andrew cite fear, loneliness, and urban abandonment as referential touchpoints for their sonic intention, and they’re conveying that here with a mix of industrial-grade distorted keyboards and a melange of synth tones, whirling effects, and live drums. Hung’s video is mesmerizing and a bit malevolent, so it’s not a respite to your Yeezus marathoning so much as an accompaniment. Do what you will:
Slow Focus is out 7/23 via ATP Recordings.
