The Russian Futurists - The Weight's On The Wheels

The long awaited 4th studio album by The Russian Futurists. The Russian Futurists have left the “bedroom-pop/lo-fi sound” genre they helped define and present an ambitious studio-produced monster pop record loaded with low end, depth, volume, and Matthew Adam Hart’s heart-breaking voice atop the mountain of sounds. The Russian Futurists (aka one-man indie pop orchestra Matthew Adam Hart) make lo-fi, bedroom recording into an art form. Hart, who hails from Eastern Ontario, Canada, drew rave reviews, as well as comparisons to Magnetic Fields and the Flaming Lips, for his 2001 debut album The Method of Modern Love, and won fans such as R.E.M.'s Peter Buck and former Blur guitarist Graham Coxon in the process. Hart's ability to make the cheapest production quality sound lush and expansive was put to the test on 2003's Let's Get Ready to Crumble, which he recorded for less than $100. Though the Russian Futurists remained a one-man affair in the studio/bedroom.
