Christiania — the self-declared "free town" occupying a former Copenhagen military barracks since 1971 — has issued its own internal currency intermittently as a deliberate assertion of autonomy from the Danish state. This piece ties that tradition to Lukas Graham, the Copenhagen band whose self-titled international album broke commercially in 2015 and 2016, an unlikely pairing of countercultural infrastructure with mainstream pop success.
