Robert Skarsbakk, from Norway, is a man of many talents. He graduated in sign language (for the deaf and deaf blind), and is an industrial designer. Next to that, he’s a self-made musician and producer. In the latter capacity, he recorded two albums so far. He released his latest, Maybe Someday, just a week ago.

Wars is the most recent single off the album. It delicately combines acoustic and electric guitars. I don’t like to pigeon-hole, but as a reference: think Counting Crows vs. The War On Drugs. You can leave it to Skarsbakk to design a solid tune…
