Andrew Hung and John Power, better know as Fuck Buttons, will be returning to San Francisco on October 9 to unleash their vast and vacuous Slow Focus on a live audience. Four years since the dynamic post-rock Tarot Sport, Fuck Buttons have further descended into a warped wasteland of post-industrial turmoil.

The self-produced Slow Focus casts massively swarming, ominous overtones while still embracing nuances that shift its focus and delivery. It’s rattling and at times overwhelming, but most impressively, it approaches a mortal construct of music without a hint of humanity. Rather, Slow Focus straddles the line between an organized dark electronic and a spontaneously developed symphony of industrial booms and bass. That sound is built for the Independent—Fuck Buttons are sure to gorge the spacious venue with their charged, mechanic post-rock.
