Starvations leader Gabriel Hart continues down the path of his rock n' soul revue that sounds like Gun Club and Nick Cave had a session was produced by Phil Spector and backed by X and the Shangri-Las. Recorded through the fall and winter of 2011-2012 by Mark Rains (Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Waylon Jennings), Four Future Standards reinforces frontman-architect-drill sergeant-and-mad-genius (oh, and singer) Gabriel Hart and his returning core members Jada Wagensomer (vocals), Hannah Blumenfeld (violin) and Josh Puklavetz (bass) with drums by Mike Shelbourn, keys by L.A. stalwart Marty Sataman and guitar by Chris Rager. And Standards also sees the welcome debut of a full Stax-style backline with sequin-clad singers Mary Animaux (White Murder) and Kristina Benson (Red Onions, Flash Express.)
