More on The Russian Futurists
Description from Wikipedia:
The Russian Futurists are a Canadian indie pop band based in Toronto. Their music can be described as lo-fi, indie-electronica fused with a twee-pop temperament. Although they initially had only one member, Matthew Adam Hart (born 1978), the band was later enlarged for live performances.
The band debuted with Upper Class Recordings in 2000 with The Method of Modern Love, which was praised by music stars such as Graham Coxon of Blur and Peter Buck of R.E.M. Uncut magazine called it "one of the most melodically seductive and exhilarating records of recent times". The band also received positive reviews in Pitchfork, Spin, The Guardian, and XLR8R. In 2004 the band toured in the U.S., Canada and Spain. They have toured with Peter Bjorn and John, Caribou and Junior Boys.
The band's track "Paul Simon" has been placed on many Samsung Phones as a feature song.
The new album, The Weight's on the Wheels, is mixed by Hart and The Cansecos
Hart's influences as a songwriter include Stephin Merritt of The Magnetic Fields. Born and raised in Cornwall, Ontario, Hart spent his early career creating indie hip hop music tracks, using improvised gear, in Cornwall and in Peterborough, Ontario. Hart has remixed other artists' singles, including "Tonight I Have to Leave It" by Shout Out Louds and "The First Five Times" by Stars.
