about
"Brute Neighbors" was recorded in four (very long) days in Ryan Lewis & Macklemore's personal studio in Seattle, WA during the month of March 2010. This is Terrible Buttons first EP, released exactly one year prior to their latest release, "Plates of Ether".

"Spokane's Terrible Buttons sound like a musical project that's born in a dark, old house, during those desperate moments right before your mind goes over the edge from sanity to insanity... There's something about their music that makes me feel like I'm wandering around the French Quarter in New Orleans in the fall, at night."
- The Stranger; Seattle, WA
"Plates of Ether, though dark, is a fun listen that clearly shows the band for what they more than likely are: a hell of a live band."
- SSG Music; Seattle, WA
"...Absolutely worth checking out... You're going to get a great show out of Terrible Buttons"
- The Source Weekly; Bend, OR
"A Spokane band who sing dark and play nice"
- Oregon Music News
"Perfectly edgy for a Friday night"
- KXLY; Spokane, WA
"If the name sounds familiar, you may have heard Spokane ex-pat Kaylee Cole talking about this seven-piece"
- Seattle Weekly; Seattle, WA
“Smoke Around the Lamps, with its disquieting, fun-house-from-hell atmosphere could be a lost Waits track"
- Bend Bulletin; Bend, OR
"Ueland is the anachronism at the center of the dark folksy carnival that is Terrible Buttons. His throaty vocals warble alongside Berentson’s, creating a playful and absurd sound."
- Inlander Magazine; Spokane, WA
"With a sound as unique as their name"
- 103.1 KCDA; Spokane, WA
"The Spokane-based band truly strikes a chord of excellence with their sleepy, intricate folk masterpieces"
- What's Up Magazine; Bellingham, WA

- Track Name: God Knows My Name
-
I was unearthed
But god knows what they birthed
I am shadow and flame
But god knows my name
I am shadow and flame
I am shadow and flame
I am shadow and flame
But god knows my name - Track Name: Brute Neighbors
-
I know just where to go
When it snows
But it's not home
Hallelujah! I found peace
Hallelujah! sweet relief
Not in you but in the trees
In the heavy-laden leaves
If I hide my eyes from the city behind
Hide in the pines from deciding
Escape to the cold, forget that dreadful unknown
Though for a little while
Is this breath too heavy to bear
Or too light for me to care?
Either way you don't fare well
So farewell
If I hide my eyes from the city behind
Hide in the pines from deciding
Escape to the cold, forget that dreadful unknown
Though for a little while
Birds of the forest add sticks to my fortress
They build it high and build it strong
It lets in the weather but there's no shelter better
Than being alone - Track Name: Terror
-
There is a man in my house, face painted brown
He sits in papa's chair, as his friends skip up the stairs
Children of darkness, the absence of light brings them to life
Beautiful cowards that keep us afraid of closing our eyes at night
CHildren of darkness, the absence of light brings them to life
Shadow puppets dance on her forehead
As they lean over her side of the bed
They paint her face like an actress
Til brother reaches under the matress
Children of darkness, the absence of light brings them to life
Beautiful cowards that keep us afraid of closing our eyes at night
Children of darkness, the absence of light brings them
Precious son, oh what have you done?
I thought I hid my gun
I am the man in your house
Wont you let me look around?
Call me lover once again
I said no I'll call you friend
Children of darkness, the absence of light brings them to life
Beautiful cowards that keep us afraid of closing our eyes at night
Children of darkness, the absence of light brings them to life - Track Name: Loose Limbs
-
I am the hull that filled with water and sank to the bottom
You are the storm that put me there, and now I wont come up for air
I am another feigning death-wish, I do it for the attention
Now your eyes on me will dwell 'til again they're somewhere else
If I could grind you in my tea like all those wilted leaves
I'd sip at it slow, savor your mediocrity
Holding the cup between my knees i see your visage in the steam
Checking your hair in the glass, good to see you haven't lost your vanity
At least you're pretty, as I pour you out
At least you're pretty, I guess that's something
You are the teeth that tear my skin just to see what's under it
You are the deadliest of sins that I can't help but commit
Your winds are so strong, my hull is so weak
maybe it's calm underneath
He raised his hands and calmed the sea
But he's not sailing with me
I am the hull that filled with water and sank to the bottom
You are the storm that put me there, and now I wont come up for air
I am the archetype of failure, killing off my savior
You are not my cross to bear, maybe in ten or twenty years
Hang your ex-lovers by a noose
Swing them back and forth until their limbs are loose
any love, any lover will do
As long as stray eyes stay fixed on you - Track Name: I Will Wake
-
I hide under the water
And dance with clenched fists
And though I'm spawn of a savior,
I'm spun out of sin
I don't know when to say when
I don't know when to say when
I hide under the water
And dance with clenched fists
And though I'm spawn of a savior,
I'm spun out of sin
I don't know when to say when
I don't know when to say when
In the face of that wave,
there's a place where I lay
And when it breaks on that day,
I will wake and they will pray
But I cannot, I cannot be swayed
