Playfully dubbed “No Romantic”, Tender Buttons don’t fall into the fashionable trappings of the kitsch-riddled electroclash scene. Nor do they produce the specialized opaque noise of current electro experimentalists following in the footsteps of Throbbing Gristle and Merzbow. Tender Buttons emerge somewhere in between and move further ahead with a blend of post-future shocked synthpunk that is as melodically adventurous as it is sonically aggressive. The songs are manic mini-tragedies for an empire that doesn’t know it has died and whose virtual borders still overflow with young souls struggling to survive it. This is the score to a film from a lost book of short stories by Phillip K. Dick directed by David Lynch over a decade from now. Tender Buttons are more than just the sound of tomorrow today; this is the sound of what it is to still be barely human . . .
