sokol radio soviet era ad. everything from the swimming to the kaleidoscope to the voice over to the color of this film is so wonderful. I also really wish I had a basketball jersey with a cyrillic name on the back.

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.

Say it out loud, but if you whisper
The air whispers back in small anecdotes
It may be frigid but the frost is yours
