littlefyodorfront.jpgThis month marks the 20th anniversary of Denver, Colorado’s unclassifiable Little Fyodor & Babushka.  Unclassifiable?  No.  “Insane” classifies them quite well.  This year also, oddly, marks the 25th anniversary of Little Fyodor’s career as a DJ at Boulder’s KGNU.  The Little Fyodor album Dance of the Salted Slug was one of the very first releases on the Elephant 6 Recording Company label; and, as Little Fyodor tells it, he’s responsible for naming Jim McIntyre’s recording project Von Hemmling.  Optical Atlas extends its congratulations and admiration to the most proudly bizarre act to have ever emerged from Colorado, which hopefully will continue to perplex listeners for another 20 years…beginning with a new album that’s due out this year.  Check out Little Fyodor at his MySpace.
