Norwegian Arms: Wolf Like a Stray Dog

It all started with a Mandolin, a musical instrument from the lute family functioned to play light classical string repertory, and a batch of songs written while shuttered away during a year in Siberia shared between two friends to birth what we know now as Norwegian Arms. With just these simple instruments, the group was able to give body and weight to their earnest, upbeat and thoughtful freak-folk.

ANTHM: Joy & Pain

German-born rapper and singer, ANTHM is out with his latest effort, Joy & Pain. Right from his humble beginnings to where he is right now, he’s always had his music front and center. This is a debut compilation for the artist. He made his first appearance by collaborating with Blu in Polaris (the track is featured here as well.) Although it had its shortcomings, there was something special about ANTHM.
