Tender Buttons is an album by the British band Broadcast. It was released by Warp Records on September 19, 2005 in the UK, one day later in the United States. The album marks a turn in the band's sound, featuring a stark, almost frigid aesthetic, bearing similarities to the sound of the Young Marble Giants, an early 1980s British minimalist post-punk band. Track eleven, "Evil is Coming", was originally intended to be named "Minus 3", due to the third loss of a member from the band.
