New Ano(t)raks Compilation World Awake Featuring Buddy Girl And Mechanic, Ghostlight, Annie The Clumsy And More
Initially, it looked like netlabel Ano(t)raks was going to define itself as a destination for indie-pop music.

Yet with latest various-artists collection World Awake, the fledgling label has…
