Album Description
2009 sophomore album from the British Experimental duo, produced by Andrew Weatherall. With Tarot Sport, all the indications are that Fuck Buttons are gonna follow in the footsteps of the likes of Animal Collective and have one massive crossover album on their hands. The album is one of unbound possibility and lucid cohesion; a cerebral pilgrimage that refines, crafts, explores and develops the experimental aesthetic of last year's critically acclaimed debut, Street Horrrsing. Tarot Sport takes things 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 that Fuck Buttons immersed themselves in, strived for and achieved with startling results.

Shoegazing, part 2?
When I listened to this album for the first time, a thought popped into my head: this is how My Bloody Valentine would sound like if they traded in their drums and guitars for keyboards! It's fantastic!
This album is a bit more accessible than their last, and equally as enjoyable. The album is made up of series of long tracks, each of them multi layered and complex. There's a lot going on here, so beware: this album might be best enjoyed via headphones and a heaping dose of concentration. Nestled in those tracks you'll find moments of shimmering beauty, and moments of (sometimes) ugly loudness, but it'll all make sense when you hear it.

I read several reviews praising this album as heavy and heady (trippy.) I found it to be a bit boring. The beats are repetitive (don't get me wrong on this one, I love hard techno beats), they just don't do much. It's basically the same beat pattern throughout the entire track; not a whole lot of thought went into layering and energy progression. Supposedly the melodies on here were going be just downright epic; I found them to be uninspired and boring. Not exactly the next Nathan Fake like I was hoping for. Awesome album artwork though.
