“Everyone is born a freak. Every newborn baby, wet and hungry and screaming, is a fresh-hatched freak who wants to have a good time and make the world a better place” - Laurie Halse Anderson

about

MOISTURE Malmö, Sweden

"The aesthetics of the lo-fi ethos in current music stems from nostalgia, which itself stems from
