Norwegian Arms - Сибирь (Sibir’) EP  (click picture to download) So, I’ve been sitting on these songs for a while. I’m not entirely sure why, but I guess it’s because like all things I release, I’m insecure about giving them away, cause I’m not sure how they’re going to come back.  They’re free, or if you want to pay a little you can. on my bandcamp (click). Alternately, you could click the picture. These are two songs which, although also about experiences in Russia, they just don’t fit with the other music. Sonically, they’re a little different, instrumentally, they’re on a guitar. There’s a possibility that they’ll appear on the full length we’re to be recording this fall, I’m not entirely sure yet. If they are, they’ll appear somewhat differently. One was written while holed up inside a Siberian apartment in the dead of winter. The other was written prior to moving to Russia, but guessing what the experience of the first would be like. So they’re both about the same thing, only the first is the reality and the second is the preconception. I feel the order works that way, although it might seem initially backwards.

Big big big fan of Jose’s Seattle project (Neighbors). He just linked me to the (EP) called Finalist they just ‘released’ on bandcamp and it’s absolutely fantastic. Makes me think if Pavement had a noisy baby with the quiet earnest observant kid next door. Nice touches of tasteful dissonance throughout. Jose’s lyrical ability has always made me a bit jealous, and coupled with his ‘I’m sorta apathetic about this’ vocal delivery these songs shine. It’s also free. Always a plus. he also has a (tumblr)

‘Louise’ - Norwegian Arms

So I finally finished what I guess could be called my first release. There are four other songs on it besides this one. They cost whatever amount of money or goods you feel is fair to give me in exchange.

I guess you could call this song the ‘title track’ considering it is also called Louise. Either way, it’s about a cat that lives in my house. She looks like the cover.

I hope to put out newer/more relevant material in the near future (aka before I leave for Russia). I just have to get my butt in gear.
