Tom Skinner on his Favourite International Anthem Titles
((( photo by Andrรฉ Baumecker )))
Last Fall, percussionist, composer, and producer Tom Skinner managed to make time between welcoming his new baby Arthur to the the world, the release of his first eponymous LP Voices of Bishara and his busy tour schedule drumming for The Smile to jot down thoughts on a short list of his favorite International Anthem releases for our very first print publication Tracing the Lines.
To the benefit of the anti-physical ephemeral folk (or those who simply haven't gotten their copy of the zine yet) our web maestro Itzi Marques just cooked up a fresh digital version of Tom's selection for online viewing pleasure.
Tracing The Lines
Tracing The Lines is a creative exploration of International Anthem Recording Co. and the community that surrounds it, edited by David Brown and beautifully designed by Jeremiah Chiu. Copies are available on our bandcamp page.
