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. Working a similar balance between substance and skronk, be it through the triumphant psych-stomp of last year's self-titled album or the urban tribalism and doom-dub of They Were Wrong and Drum's Not Dead, the headlining Liars reinvent themselves more convincingly than any other indie-rock band around.
