International Anthem

International Anthem is a Chicago-born recording company that produces and promotes progressive media. Since their first release in 2014, the IARC have pushed back against commodifiable categorisation and joined a proud hometown tradition in the process, releasing work from celebrated artists like Makaya Craven, jaimie branch, Irreversible Entanglements, Ben Lamar Gay, Carlos Niño, and Angel Bat Dawid (photo below). As much as International Anthem is a meaningfully curated arts label, they’re a hub for consciously uplifting cultural connections and nurturing artistic expression, making this collaboration an organic gesture of collective relationships. Label Co-founder and Los Angeles based Scottie McNiece has been a friend of floating since our beginning, and we’re ecstatic to work together to both celebrate one of our favorite contemporary arts labels and further nourish the artistic bridge between Los Angeles and Chicago’s interdependent communities.
