Let's Get Ready to Crumble

The Russian Futurists sound like they're going to be a giant, unwieldy post-Sputnik band, but it's actually just one Matthew Hart -- a young post-grad making poppy, heartfelt music on his keyboard and drum machine. "Let's Get Ready to Crumble," the follow-up to his debut album "The Method of Modern Love," tackles similar issues (love, relationships) and has the same low-budget, lone-gun quality. As The Guardian wrote, it "...bursts with electronic pop joy and a sense of wonder worthy of The Flaming Lips."
