Fuck Buttons
Andrew Weatherall produced this collection, which captures the experimental spirit of the UK underground in the late 2000s. Hypnotic loops build tension before exploding into pure, repetitive noise that feels both claustrophobic and uplifting.
Siting at the intersection of shoegaze, techno, and drone, the record is a dense exercise in atmosphere. It manages to generate a cathedral-like scale from humble, inexpensive equipment.
