“Tarot Sport’s actual songs…are pretty freaking incredible. There’s a cinematic, storytelling quality to the music… Tarot Sport is a cut above. Perhaps surprisingly, it’s also a welcoming album– and one of the best of this already fruitful year.” — Joe Colly, Pitchfork

“There is a crackle of anticipation in the air before Fuck Buttons take the stage: the sense that the audience feel they’re about to see a band on the brink of great things.” — Alexis Petridis, The Guardian Online

After the success of their debut album, “Street Horrrsing,” which was shortlisted for The Guardian’s First Album Awards, Fuck Buttons return with their second installment of pristine noise. Produced by Andrew Weatherall (Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine, Saint Etienne), the band have upped their sound experimentation in “Tarot Sport,” making Andrew Weatherall the perfect man for the job: “There are so many more layers of sound that we needed somebody with the ability to spread these out over a wide plane… The ambition of sound in this record required him to realise it.”

Experimental but accessible, the genre-straddling “Tarot Sport” was well-received by both critics and fans. The album was given a 4 out of 5 rating by The Guardian, whilst Pitchfork rated it 9.0 out 10 and chose it as one of the best new albums of the year. Fuck Buttons are currently touring the US and will finish their tour in Europe in December.

“We will listen to this for years to come. 5/5 stars” — Electronique

ThinkSync Music’s partner Rotters Golf Club released Andrew Weatherall vs. The Boardroom Vol. 2 in October, following on the success of last year’s album, which was described by Clash as “sheer electronic marvellosity.” Round two features nine new tracks including a remix of “Built Back Higher” from Weatherall’s debut solo album A Pox on the Pioneers.

ThinkSync is providing music for Pinball Film’s upcoming erotic film Erotology. The movie, which the filmmakers describe as “an erotic art film” and a “poetic love story,” treats the passionate summer romance between a novice erotic photographer and his shy taxidermist girlfriend. Erotology is the first feature-length film written by fast-rising 28-year-old British film writer/director Sean Conway, whose previous film Alex and Her Arse Truck was nominated for the British Independent Film Awards’ Best Short. Erotology is currently in post-production.

“This tune–which samples the Stevie V tune ‘Dirty Cash’–is amazing. 5/5 stars.” — Heat

Dizzee Rascal’s latest single, “Dirtee Cash,” which ThinkSync Music’s partner Cacophony Music co-publishes, was A listed at Radio 1 weeks ahead of its release.
