Fuck Buttons’ Andrew Hung has made a solo EP out of Game Boy sounds

Fuck Buttons’ Andrew Hung has announced his first ever solo EP. ‘Rave Cave’ is comprised entirely out of sounds from a Nintendo Game Boy. “The emphasis is on fun,” he says, with the EP’s songs being constructed on the road.

Lead track ‘The Plane’ is streaming now - if this was to accompany any Game Boy action, it’d go nicely with a Mario Kart freakout.

Speaking about the EP, Hung says: “In a world with an ever-increasing emphasis on packaging and delivery with seemingly infinite resources and techniques to carry these things out, there is a danger of us losing our vision in a fog of presentation.

Whilst touring, I needed an outlet for writing music; it drives me nuts to not have access to a means to making things. I’ve tried making music on laptops; carrying tiny peripherals around the globe, but this still wasn’t a portable solution. I’ve tried tablets but having my fat fingers play keyboard lines on a touchscreen isn’t very fun. In the end, it was the decrepit obsolete games console, the Game Boy, that opened up possibility for me again. Limiting but liberating, the emphasis is on fun.”
