Best of the Best – “Classic”

Hi! Waiting for TuneCore to finish distribution of realPfft’s latest hit song, I continue to curate their back catalog. My blog gives me daily reports on which music files you readers are downloading and what countries you come from. This allows me to direct your attention to sometimes forgotten gems. I woke up this morning and thought, “Classic! That’s a great instrumental. Why aren’t I showcasing it?”  

Taking his inspiration from Mason Williams’ April 1968 hit “Classical Gas,” Mutte has created his own symphonic pop masterpiece. It’s a classic.

In 1967, the same Mason Williams created an art installation titled “Bus.” A life-size color photograph of a Greyhound bus in 1:1 scale, this unusually large poster mural measures 10 feet by 36 feet.

In celebration of Williams’ artwork, Kuny— who does realPfft’s cover art— designed, photographed and labeled his “Classic” box. Dimensions: 4 inches in height by 5 ½ inches wide by 3 ½ inches deep. Kinda puny, no? Signed prints are available.

realPfft’s Backstory

Hello!

Nee-how!

Cześć!

Hej på dig!

Who are these musicians? Music loops genius Mutte Fjutt in Uppsala, Sweden has teamed up with1980’s punk singer Clive Flatenbad to form the Swedish rap duo realPfft. Mutte is a shy guy while Clive is a performer. Mutte began his career as an audio engineer. Clive was a disc jockey who loves to sing. Both function as producers and songwriters.

Satirists, Mutte and Clive’s first two singles — Fake News and Fake News (Mutte’s illegal mix) — poked fun at America’s president. Seven years later, they have branched out, creating rap, hip hop, pop, rock, dance, disco, jazz, funk, fusion and classical tracks. They have never met a sound effect that they didn’t like. Drawing inspiration from 70 years of pop music, these musical dinosaurs call their oeuvre Dino Pop. They have released 140 singles and the album realPfft Does Jazz Funk.

Their female vocals come from girlfriends, loops from Ghosthack in Germany, Text-to-Speech software and nowadays even A.I.     

Their cover art is produced by a geezer named Kuny who, fortunately, doesn’t charge an arm and a leg.

They release their music through the very adept people at TuneCore in Brooklyn, New York. TuneCore distributes realPfft’s tracks to YouTube, Spotify and iTunes plus 30 other online stores and five digital platforms. Thanks to them, realPfft’s music encircles the globe.

Clive’s rather nutty videos owe a great deal to his younger brother Tim who tries to squeeze a laugh out of even the lamest joke.

I am their music publisher, sometime manager and publicist.

Best regards!

Kevin
