The Russian Futurists -17 Tracks

Drawing praise from Pitchfork and Coke Machine Glow, immensely talented musician Matthew Adam Hart continues his pursuit of reconstructing the pop/rock genre.

Under the moniker of The Russian Futurists, Toronto, Ontario native Hart composes, writes and performs the recorded material. The results are staggering as he has an undeniable ability of producing infectious and endearing replayable tunes.

To get a picture of Hart's work, combine Matthew Sweet's song writing with the instrumental arrangement of Sufjan Stevens and Beck's originality mixed by Fat Boy Slim. All this talent by one individual is simply outstanding!
