When it was debuted in a primitive form during last year’s Harvest Festival, The Red Wing generated the closest thing to a singalong during Fuck Buttons’ triumphant set. We were hypnotised by the vintage disco “pew”s, and thrust our fingers to the tent ceiling while engaging in joyous onomatopoeia. Oh what fun. Released as a single edit to preface the long-awaited third LP Slow Focus, the studio version retains the “pew”s over a gnarled, winding distorted bassline. Electronica par excellence, but the edit length is but a tease. The world needs more Fucky Butts, more often.
