Records of 2010 - 35. The Russian Futurists - The Weight's on the Wheels


Records of 2010 - 35. The Russian Futurists - The Weight's on the Wheels

I love this band, they're really nice. I love the way that Matthew Adam Hart started out as a bedroom recording artist and now they've expanded to be a decent band in their own right. It's a sign of progress. Even better is the fact that this friendly, underground indie-pop band had 2 songs featured on NBA2K11, a basketball game that's huge on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, not that I play those things; I just reseached it from clickety-click-click on wikipedia. Anyway, "The Weight's on the Wheels" recollects early Of Montreal and the directness of the poppy melodies combined with the cryptic lyrics means they're pulling rabbits out of hats on every song here.
