History


Hart was born and raised in Cornwall, Ontario.[3] Influenced by songwriters Stephin Merritt of The Magnetic Fields,[4] he spent his early career creating indie hip hop music tracks, using improvised gear, in Cornwall and in Peterborough, Ontario.[5]


Hart's first album under the name The Russian Futurists was released by Upper Class Recordings in 2000, and titled The Method of Modern Love. The album was praised by Graham Coxon of Blur and Peter Buck of R.E.M.[6]Uncut magazine called it "one of the most melodically seductive and exhilarating records of recent times".[7] The band also received positive reviews in Pitchfork Media, Spin, The Guardian, and XLR8R.[8]


In 2004 the band toured in the U.S., Canada and Spain. They toured with Peter Bjorn and John, Caribou and Junior Boys.[3]


Hart recorded the first three lo-fi Futurists albums in his Toronto home, including 2005's Our Thickness; in June 2000 the album appeared on the !earshot Top 200 chart.[9]


The band's track "Paul Simon" was chosen by Samsung to include on its phones as a featured song. Hart has remixed other artists' singles, including "Tonight I Have to Leave It" by Shout Out Louds and "The First Five Times" by Stars.[10]


For The Russian Futurists' fourth studio album, looking for more sophisticated production, Hart began recording in a New York studio.[11] The band released the album, The Weight’s On The Wheels, worldwide on November 16, 2010. It was produced by Hart with the aid of Michael Musmanno (Outkast, Lilys, Arrested Development). The lead single “Hoeing Weeds Sowing Seeds”, was mixed by Grammy Award winner Michael Brauer (Coldplay, John Mayer, The Bravery). The album, ten tracks in total feature tracks “Horseshoe Fortune”, “Register My Firearms? No Way!”,“100 Shopping Days ‘Til Christmas” and “One Night, One Kiss”, a duet with Heavy Blinkers singer Ruth Minnikin.


The Russian Futurists released a music video for “One Night, One Kiss” off their 2010 fourth studio album, The Weight’s on the Wheels.[12] The songs "Paul Simon", and "Precious Metals" are featured on the NBA 2K11 soundtrack.


As of September 2013, Hart is also now appearing as cohost of the morning show on Toronto's CIND-FM.[13]
