MP3: Buttonhead - Kitson/Lucerne

Input in the genres into the machine. Interlace and cross fade. Mix and match. It’s all a bit too much, the super-music-computers overheats, over rotates and oscillates out of control. We are left with folk that is a triumph of brightness, and subtle, accommodating post-rock.

It is at moments frantic, melodies become epic and evolutionary, shedding shards of rainbows and sorrowful laments. Buttonhead grab the four corners of the indie-pop world in Kitson / Lucerne, they shake it, and awaken a lost taste, all on at their own pace. The female vocals, have an easy reference point in Deerhoof, but this has a different sort of drive. It’s music that I want to hear afresh every morning.

Buttonhead are from London, they’re looking for a new singer are going to be gigging in November again reglardless of whether they find one or not… myspace.com/buttonhead
