Tarot Sport is an album in which Fuck Buttons continue to refine, craft, explore and develop the experimental aesthetic of last year's critically acclaimed debut album, Street Horrsing. However, they also take proceedings to another level through a combination of their own ambitious aims and the application of Weatherall's clear-sighted, rule-defying precision and attention to sonic detail. The seven tracks on the album reflect a new-found complexity of sound and a more layered depth to the recordings; recordings that pushed everyone to the limit of their abilities. As Power says, "I think it sounds a lot thicker than our previous work...our brains kind of went into meltdown."





Initially, the group was born as an outlet for their nihilistic-noise tendencies. Quickly, though, the two Fuck Buttons realized they could harness the use of noise as a tool to immerse and evoke. No longer afraid of melody or rhythm, the group started fusing all these elements to the point when drone becomes melody becomes rhythm.
