Dawn Hunger is the latest side project from drone designers – and unlikely Olympics soundtrack contributors – Fuck Buttons.

The three-piece are led by Andrew Hung, who’s kept a fairly low profile since Fuck Buttons’ 2009 corker Tarot Sport. In contrast to Benjamin John Power’s sweeping ambient work as Blanck Mass, Dawn Hunger are a punchy proposition. The trio – made up of Hung, Claire Inglis and Matthew de Pulford – specialise in warped electro-pop, exemplified on new track ‘Stumbling Room’.

Some of Fuck Buttons’ diaphragm-dislodging fuzz is present, but there’s a hitherto unsuspected litheness – a funkiness, even – to proceedings. Inglis’ riot grrrl vocal won’t be to everyone’s taste, but the shuddering instrumental is pretty undeniable. ‘Stumbling Room’ is due out on November 5 on Mourning Joy, but is available to download in full below, courtesy of the band’s Soundcloud page.
