Minimalist Fusion

Since it's inception in the 60's, Minimalism has often been used as an influence by artists in other genres, specifically Rock in the 70's and 80's and all shades of experimental Electronic Music. Today, there are many groups standing on the shoulders of the original pioneers, blending many genres with Minimalism to say something relevant about RIGHT NOW. Fuck Buttons are one such group. As an electronic two-piece from England, they borrow from drone, post-rock, noise and electronic dance music, all of which have been at least partly born from Minimal music itself. Their insistence on repetition of phrase, gradual transformation, drone and a steady beat show that they make music from a very Minimalist place. When they combine this with their "nurture"- a Pop sensibility that comes from an awareness of the modern culture that they themselves grew up in, they create a beautiful "Minimalist Fusion".
