NTS – DECEMBER 2021 W/ PAM & CALEYS SWEETNSOUR

This month's show was recorded on two different continents : LA-based artist Caleys Sweetnsour offered us a flash of raw energy in the form of 1-hour long mix of Japanese punk and new wave songs - one of the best mixtape to skateboard to I've heard in recent years.
