Life Is Everywhere

_____________________________________________________________ LIFE IS EVERYWHERE | released Jan. 27, 2017 Available as 2xLP (standard black, translucent w/ black smoke) + 1xLP (lathe cut) + CD + Cassette + Digital 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.
