SOUNDTRACK: THE RUSSIAN FUTURISTS -“Paul Simon” (2010).
Continuing my march through CBC Radio 3: I love the name of this band, but I’m sadly underwhelmed by this track.
This is a horn (synth) heavy track which has a somewhat lo-fi quality in the verses. I have to assume that the horns are a nod to Paul Simon, but I can’t be sure of that. It has an orchestral feel and it’s kind of fun. But while I wouldn’t turn it off if I heard it again, even after two listens I didn’t think of it so much as a song as a catchy horn blast repeated over and over.
