Norwegian Arms - A Perception to be Proven Partially Inaccurate

from Сибирь Sibir’ EP download here

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.

Neighbors - All United Grocery

It took me too long to listen to this song. A serious gem: great melodic structure, wonderfully executed syncopation in the verse, and then a gentle slide into a smooth chorus.

Neighbors is from Seattle. they have a blog here (click me)

I found this sketch up of a banner that my friend/talented illustrator dan hughes did for my bandcamp page over a year ago. It’s cool to see his process/the different ways he decided to draw me. It’s also interesting to see how my image as a musician was perceived at the time (gummy bear) as opposed to how it would be perceived now (I still love gummy bears).
The funniest part I think is the exposed chest/plunging neckline/chest hair. I never wear shirts like that.
