Purity Ring - Lofticries
11. Cold Cave - "Confetti" At one point the Cold Cave record was possibly my favorite of the year. It just got so many things right at the perfect time: we were due for a reexamination of 902s wide-eyed teenage apocalyptic romanticism via some kind of self-conscious, unsubtle goth/industrial/synthpop revival. Heavy monosynth moongazing that's simultaneously tongue-in-cheek hilarious and dead-fucking-serious. I'm not sure everyone got the high-wire act that Cold Cave was going for here. 12. Purity Ring - "Lofticries" This is the track that [...]

Record Shopping, Morricone and Attenborough: TLOBF meets Blanck Mass

Aug 18, 2011, 9:59am The Line Of Best Fit
Record Shopping, Morricone and Attenborough: TLOBF meets Blanck Mass "If you listen to it, you have to listen on good headphones, you can't listen off your laptop speakers, because you'll miss so many frequencies and stuff… It's awkward in that sense, you should be able to listen to a record wherever you want but I do think you need to give this one some time, otherwise you're going to miss things out. There are so many subtle shifts there, energy shifts and things… I've always thought there's a difference between songs and pieces of music, anyway, and I didn't want to write an album of 10 songs, I wanted [...]

The PIAS Fire: Your Independent Labels Need You

Aug 10, 2011, 9:06am Not Many Experts
The PIAS Fire: Your Independent Labels Need You Yesterday we woke up to the heartbreaking news that PIAS' London warehouse had been completely burnt down in a wave of wanton, vitriolic rioting that was completely lacking any legitimate political motive. Whilst the wider implications of this thoughtless and respectless behaviour is a problem probably best left to our inept politicians, it has become clear that many of the independent labels that we love are now under severe financial pressure, having had some or all of their physical stock destroyed. Unfortunately for these companies, being insured is not enough. First of all, insurance companies are bastards. That [...]

Blanck Mass: Blanck Mass

Jul 13, 2011, 9:10am Both bars on
Blanck Mass: Blanck Mass This album could be described in fractions: Blanck Mass is Benjamin John Power, half of Fuck Buttons and on first listen sounds like Fuck Buttons minus the beats, hence half of their sound. This should translate into something half as enjoyable, but thankfully it doesn't. Many of the tracks on Blanck Mass consist of sumptuous swathes of blissful synths. 'Sundowner' is glitter and fuzz and with its soaring melody generates an overwhelming desire to enjoy it at the time specific to its title. 'Chernobyl' demands an image gallery of decaying buildings and ruined playgrounds being colonised [...]

The Best Songs of 2011 (So Far): Cole's List

Blanck Mass - Chernobyl
If my top songs of the year have any indication of anything, it's been an interesting and eclectic year for music. Many of the biggest artists in music released albums in the first part of this year, which has made it one of the most exciting starts to a year I can think of in [...]

Blanck Mass – "Icke's Struggle" (Stereogum Premiere)

Jun 20, 2011, 1:32pm Stereogum
When we posted Blanck Mass's " Land Disasters ," I quoted the man behind the project, Fuck Buttons' Benjamin John Power, as saying, among other things: "Soundtracking nature documentaries would work out pretty well for me." Of all the tracks on Blanck Mass's self-titled debut, the pretty (and Grouper-like) "Icke's Struggle" comes closest to proving that point. Read More...

Album Review: Blanck Mass – Blanck Mass

May 31, 2011, 7:59am Consequence Of Sound
As 50 percent of Fuck Buttons , Benjamin John Power produces massive, grinding drones of electronic, indecipherable calamity. As 100 percent of Blanck Mass , Power more or less does more of the same. While it may not be as primal as Street Horrrsing , or as concise as Tarot Sport , Blanck Mass's self-titled debut packs the same sort of punch, and that punch is one that goes directly to the gut. Off the bat, "Sifted Gold" pulses and shimmers like a magic river, sparse murmurs and background moans filtering through to the [...]

Land Disasters

May 8, 2011, 10:42am No Genre
Land Disasters As one half of Fuck Buttons, Benjamin John Power has been translating elemented forces into achingly beautiful noise records for a few years now. On June 20, he will be self-releasing his solo debut under the name Blanck Mass . If you've spent any time with Fuck Buttons' gorgeous Tarot Sport , then you can reasonably anticipate Blanck Mass' aesthetic: towering sheets of mid-range noise that creates a universe-sized shape in between your years. Lead teaser " Land Disasters " is profoundly trippy without being at all druggy, harnessing solar flares of distorted synths into sustained tones that reach for [...]

Blanck Mass - Land Disasters

Apr 30, 2011, 5:57am The Beat!
One half of the formidable F**K Buttons, Benjamin John Power has readied his solo album. A studio only project, Blanck Mass channels electric guitar, alongside manipulated field recordings, warm analogue synth, heavy sub and deep drone into what Powers calls a very personal statement. Sad to hear that this wont be touring but the best we can do is turn it up loud & turn all the lights off. It also answers the question of who in F**k Buttons owns the pedals and who owns the Roland. Land Disasters [...]

mp3 Mixtape: Friday Mixtape CXLVI

Apr 29, 2011, 3:15pm Consequence Of Sound
In my years on Facebook, I've managed to avoid a lot of the regular occurrences that have become a part of the social networking giant. I've never played FarmVille, I don't quote famous inspirational quotes, and I've thankfully never stalked an ex (more than what was normal and healthy). But one of those annoying pitfalls I have fall into is the 30-Day Song Challenge. Here, hapless folks post a new song a day that reflects parts of their life, from their favorite tune to a track that describes their inner self and even the musical offering with their favorite bassline.

Blanck Mass (Benjamin John Power Of Fuck Buttons) – "Land Disasters"

Last year, Fuck Buttons' Benjamin John Power recorded an album's worth of material in his London apartment under the moniker Blanck Mass. The band name and cover art unfortunately evoke the Faint, but he puts his FB-toned synthesizers/noisemakers put to good use on "Land Disasters." Read More...
