The Russian Futurists

Add Date: November 9 

Artist: The Russian Futurists 

Album: The Weight's on the Wheels 

Label: Upper Class 

Genre: Rock, synth pop 

Comments: To be honest, I had thought that Toronto musician Matthew Adam Hart had abandoned his Russian Futurists project; though Hart has been doing some remixes and touring in the intervening time, he hadn't released a studio record since 2005's Our Thickness. But now here comes The Weight's on the Wheels, another fine collection of bedroom indie-psych-synth pop numbers, which float in the ether somewhere between The Magnetic Fields and The Flaming Lips. Highly recommended--check out tracks like "Golden Years" and "Hoeing Weeds Sowing Seeds."
