Noise isn't supposed to be this pretty. Sure, My Bloody Valentine, Jesu, and a whole mess of pedal-pushers have shown that's not necessarily true, but Fuck Buttons take the concept to a whole new stratosphere. "Bright Tomorrow" had the blogs beside themselves — a simple, shimmering keyboard melody that boils over into a Yellow Swans-ish barrage of screams and hiss — while early reports on their debut, Street Horrrsing, confirm that the tune was no fluke. Before the Buttons hammer out their ugly/pretty catharsis, Dan Snaith's Caribou (formerly Manitoba) play it just plain pretty. Last year's Andorra was a return to form, all crystalline songwriting and sunshiny instrumentation.
