Inside the walls of this cold plastic city The Fast Computers
are waiting to get out, looking for an exit that isn’t there.
Is there any hope for happiness outside of drugs and lust?
Formed in 2003 in the basement of an ancient house on the
outskirts of Chicago, The Fast Computers are the braintrust
of Peter Dean Dean, a man who remembers a time when people thought the future
would be filled with flying cars, molecular transport, and
omniharmony. Disenchanted with the realities of modern
life, he has, along with Jennifer Fox,
created a sound that is distinctively modern and complexly
reminiscent.
Propagating a musical lineage that stretches
from Brian Wilson to Jarvis Cocker, The Fast Computers
strive to create a soundtrack for an idealized modern life,
one free from greed, regret and control by invisible
machines. From sparse quiet gems to sonic masterpieces,
The Fast Computers run the gamut from demure to overwhelming
while always striving for new directions in a cluttered musical
world.
