The Busy Indicators was the lo-fi loop-pop solo project of Minneapolis-based Howard W. Hamilton III, a onetime roadie for Babes in Toyland, who afterwards appeared within the music group Saucer. Offering his car to invest in the buy of an eight-track along with a sampler, he followed the Busy Indicators moniker to concern his Sugar Free of charge label debut Baby’s First Beats within the springtime of 2000. Pretend Hits appeared the following calendar year.
