Tender Buttons is an album
by the British
band
Broadcast. It was released by
Warp Records on September 19, 2005 in the
UK, one day later in the United States
. The album marks a turn in the band's sound,
featuring a stark, almost frigid aesthetic, bearing similarities to
the sound of the
Young Marble
Giants, an early 1980s British minimalist
post-punk band. Track eleven, "Evil is Coming",
was originally intended to be named "Minus 3", due to the third
loss of a member from the band.
