Most commonly known as three-fifths of the influential indie synth outfit, The Faint, Clark Baechle, Todd Fink, and Jacob Thiele have begun their journey into the future of sound with their new project Depressed Buttons. The men behind the drums, vox and keyboards of the revered band were among the first to give punk kids a taste of keyboard-based dance music in the late 1990s, when dancing was not cool, and now outfitted as Depressed Buttons, they’ll take on the electronic/dance world with an entirely new sound. With only remixes for Of Montreal and Boys Noize under their belts and remixes for Boy 8-Bit and Shinichi Osawa on the way, Mad Decent signed them to release their first EP, QWERTY, on December 7th.
