DESIGN + MUSIC ARE BEST FRIENDS

We believe that great music can come from anywhere.

Sidedown Audio is a boutique music label that curates work from solo home-recording artists and pairs it with handmade design. The result is a limited edition hard copy album with cover art designed and manufactured in-house. Musicians get to keep the rights to all of their work, and we get to design album jackets. Everybody gets what they want!

Sidedown Audio will release between three and six full-length albums per year, each in a limited edition of 500-1000.

The best music deserves unique design and analog existence. We treat albums as artifacts, as "records", if you will(though let's be clear, we're not currently offering anything in vinyl). If you would like more information on releasing an album on Sidedown Audio, plese contact us at audio@sidedown.com or submit a demo of your work.

Apart from the label, Sidedown owner Joshua Wentz composes and records music for fun and profit, produces several podcasts, and writes daily music reviews for a project called degenre. We love music, you see, and can't stop thinking about it.
