“keeps Hung’s prediliction for disorienting noise, but travels in a different direction from his main outfit, too.” Pitchfork
“Dawn Hunger was written for a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist to perform; I was interested in the concept of composing for musicians and not being involved in the live performance.” – Andrew Hung
Following on from launching the snarling electronics of DAWN HUNGER’s debut single ‘Stumbling Room’, here’s revealing the video for the flip ‘Billowed Wind’ premiered on Noisey.com today as well as details of a single launch at Stoke Newington’s Birthdays on the 26th November.
DAWN HUNGER is a new project from Fuck Buttons’ Andrew Hung, ‘Stumbling Room’/’Billowed Wind’ is set for release on the 5th November via Mourning Joy.

With DAWN HUNGER, Andrew heads down a new Svengali-like path, where he writes, records and produces music and then collaborates with a series of new musicians. To begin this infinite electronic odyssey, DAWN HUNGER is interpreted and performed live by Claire Inglis and Matthew de Pulford. Throughout this collaborative process we see the generation of identity; an interpretation of self. Actions become objects and being gives way to a newfound sense of soul.
This is very much a production project for Andrew. “Dawn Hunger was written for a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist to perform”, he explains. “I was interested in the concept of composing for musicians and not being involved in the live performance.” Consequently Andrew will be absent from the stage at the single launch and all future live shows, leaving the stagework in Claire and Matthew’s capable hands (pictured above).
Stream or download ‘Stumbling Room”s prowling nocturnal electronica, as premiered by Pitchfork:
This is music that is both turbulent and disconcerting. Bereft of excess; jagged components are given space to breathe and move, attracting each other into unsettling frenzy. Groove is redefined by unhinged yet locked drums. The female voice screeches and wails to disturb, and compel in equal measures.
Pre-order ‘Stumbling Room’ b/w ‘Billowed Wind’ here.
