Depressed Buttons February 23, 2011

Depressed Buttons are not your typical club DJs. Hailing from Omaha, Nebraska, the Buttons' influences are rooted in groups like Fugazi, Sonic Youth, Devo, and The Clash. As three-fifths of The Faint, including Todd Fink, Clark Baechle, and Jacob Thiele, Depressed Buttons have a serious penchant for synthesizers and dance music. A new project for their remixes and live DJ shows, Depressed Buttons is a foray into the electronic ether, the digital dimension. The result is nothing less than a voyage into future music- an exploration of sound composed of angular stabs, thick pads, and clean, minimalist arrangements. But make no mistake, they are here to make you move. Don't let the word depressed fool you. When speaking of buttons and switches rather than emotions and psycho-babble, being depressed means being switched ON!
