Arms and Sleepers

"Arms and Sleepers experiments more with electronics and beats than Morcheeba or Portishead ever did... the group refuses to adhere to any scene in particular, and its subdued, magical sound remains unique." ― NPR Music

Inspired by real-life events from Chicago’s South Side and its vibrant youth, arms and sleepers’ new album "Life Is Everywhere" highlights the necessity of compassion and kindness in this lonely and uncertain digital age, affirming the true purpose of art in our world. Co-produced by Sun Glitters and featuring appearances from acclaimed MC Serengeti and Airøspace, "Life Is Everywhere" enters a new realm of creativity as it expands on the melodies of their previous work but with a darker and more reflective quality. In recent interviews, Mirza Ramic (half of the duo) emphasized the importance of having the courage to live in truth because great change begins with ourselves, which is the only reality we can control, noting that, "the most practical thing I can contribute to any kind of change is to better myself, and hopefully that can create positive side-effects for the world around me."
