One month ago, Boston-based duo Max Lewis and Mirza Ramic aka ARMS AND SLEEPERS returned from a short hiatus of three years with a satisfying new longplayer called Swim Team. On it, the two gentlemen extend their ambitious electronic environment into such interesting new fields like R&B and pop. The two-piece gives it music focus without loosing their ability to create haunting and complex synthesizer landscapes.
It becomes quite clear that these gentlemen have a distinctive and diversified taste of music. Just one reason why we are extremely happy to have ARMS AND SLEEPERS delivering another wonderful NBHAP Guestmix. This one is dedicated to the duo’s ‘travelling companions’ aka the songs they’ve been listening to when travelled the world with their music. A really joyful selection we must say. Maybe it’s even perfect for your next road trip as well, don’t you think?
Here’s what the band has to say about their mix.:
‘All the songs in this mix hold a very special place in our collective heart as they have traveled thousands of kilometers with us on tour. Whether it was listening to Owen while driving in the Alps, Slow Magic while boarding a flight in Ukraine, Isan during soundchecks in Germany, School of Seven Bells in the middle of nowhere Pennsylvania, Four Tops with the windows rolled down in sunny New Mexico, or Pinback on a fast train in China, these tunes bring back a lot of colorful memories from many different corners of the world. They are our ultimate traveling companions.’
