      My favorite minimal wave compilation. The whole thing is just perfectly curated and is great for chill afternoons at home. So stoked to finally get Arvid Tuba on vinyl too!

        The only way to get your hands on "The Seasons Are Sitting On Chairs", a masterpiece of minimal wave. Lots of other good but quieter tracks, like "Cold Café".
