- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
CanadaÆs psychedelic pop star, The Russian Futurists, is back with a stunning
new studio album û The WeightÆs On The Wheels û due out tomorrow on Upper
Class Recordings. The Toronto based artist aka Matthew Adam Hart produced the
new album with the aid of Michael Musmanno (Outkast, Lilys, Arrested
Development) and sonically takes his sound out of the bedroom and onto the
airwaves. The WeightÆs On The Wheels captures the Futurists in full pop
regalia from start to finish.
The Russian Futurists released his debut album The Method of Modern Love on
Upper Class nearly a decade ago and quickly caught the ear of musicians and
critics alike earning Matthew Adam Hart comparisons to Magnetic Fields and
Flaming Lips, raves from Pitchfork, SPIN, The Guardian and XLR8R and praise
from established acts Blur, REM and Snow Patrol. He followed up his debut
with two more critically acclaimed releases û LetÆs Get Ready to Crumble
(Upper Class 2002) and Our Thickness (Upper Class 2005) and in 2007, Me
Myself and Rye û a collection of The FuturistsÆ hottest songs û was released.
The compilation took off and The Russian Futurists found himself touring with
Peter, Bjorn & John, Caribou and Junior Boys among others. Thanks to HartÆs
knack for producing catchy dreamy pop music and continued critical acclaim,
he found himself remixing Sloan, Lo-Fi Fnk, Stars, Shout Out Louds, Sally
Shapiro, Dykehouse and labelmates Cadence Weapon.
Now itÆs 2010 and The Russian Futurists is back with The WeightÆs On The
Wheels û a monster pop record. The first song on the album, ôHoeing Weeds
Sowing Seedsö - mixed by Grammy Award Winner Michael Brauer (Coldplay, John
Mayer, The Bravery) û is a celebration explosion, a thumping and glorious
beat with classic Matthew Hart triumphant vocals rising atop the electronic
paradise; the track is available as a free download at
www.russianfuturists.com.
