I don't know what it is, but I'm checking out all these bands that DC is going to freak out over. All of this is coming from the the many end of the year lists put out by critics, which has led me on a massive downloading spree.
I'm checking out the album "Street Horrrsing" by the Fuck Buttons, a duo out of England. This stuff sounds a little like Black Dice, simmering noise slashed through with laser-beam guitar or keyboards, occasional screaming, but often melodic, and always huge. Actually, it's kind of perfect music for sitting in a nearly empty office in midtown Manhattan, the machines humming quietly in the background, darkness falling.

Fuck Buttons are the solution to Black Dice for people who like their noise a little more...hmmm...listenable. They've got that epic feel mogwai pulls off at their most magestic moments.
