Check out this well-written article that details the interconnectedness of independent artists, record labels, recording studios, mastering engineers, and our truly DIY independent pressing plant, that all continue to make Chicago one of the most exciting music cities in the world!!

No better artist than the continually amazing @wearefacs exemplifies the independents spirit. We are working with the band and @troubleinmindrecords to press their new LP - the last project Steve ever worked on, and we are happy to see the whole team at Electrical Audio continue to carry on their success, moving forward. #supportlocalmusic [article link in bio]

Thinking about this amazing artwork created by John Yates @stealworks for the OTTAWA Third Age 1-sided LP that we pressed for @council_records! The image was created/compiled from an old screen transparency and some photos that @martincrudo took of the band. A stunning package when paired with the Natural PVC that we used. Still a couple left - score yours from Council’s bandcamp today!!
