Laptop pop. Long obsessed with hip-hop, once Matthew Hart Adams discovered Pet Sounds he began using his incredible sampling skills to create multilayered melodies that turn one man and his machine into an orchestral ensemble. Lumping together choice cuts from the Russian Futurists’ first three albums – previously only available in Canada – this eponymous UK debut is a collection of lovely, summery pop that hovers somewhere between the experimentalism of The Flaming Lips and Fleetwood Mac’s sense of the dramatic. After a fashion, these really are laptop equivalents to what Brian Wilson once called his “teenage symphonies to God.”The Russian Futurists - The Russian Futurists, released 07 August 06 on Memphis Industries.
