FUCK BUTTONS release 'The Red Wing' from new album 'Slow Focus'
The Red Wing (Edit) video / The Red Wing (Edit) soundcloud stream
Following the announcement of their third album, 'Slow Focus' (released 22nd July on ATP Recordings), Fuck Buttons have cut loose the first track from its densely constructed mesh of abrasions and grooves, in the form of the sinister, penetrative breaks of ‘The Red Wing’, an edited version of the track that will appear in full on the album. The full version is available from today on a gold vinyl 12" (limited to 1000 worldwide) / digital release feat. non-album b-side The Whip.

Album Info:
'Slow Focus' once again abides by Power and Andrew Hung’s fundamental rule that, “we must always be in the same room when writing.” The first record that they’ve fully produced themselves, it’s an ominously shimmering mirage that could only have borne their moniker. “Slow Focusseemed like a very apt title when considering the sentiment of the music,” comments Power, “It almost feels like the moment your eyes take to readjust when waking, and realising you're in a very unusual and not a particularly welcoming place. We like to think that we create our own new landscapes, and with this it's a very alien one.”
Having already confirmed a string of festival dates, which kicked off recently at Primavera Festival in Barcelona, the pair have now been unveiled as Saturday night Park Stage headliners at Glastonbury. “We’re looking forward to it hugely,” says Andrew Hung. “I’m hoping that the Glastonbury crowd will be up for a bit of raucous!” If the pair’s viscerally thrilling early shows this year are anything to go by, they’re not going to have any choice but to be.
