Does Santa press vinyl?? No, but do!

These are the clear vinyl 2nd pressing of Psychosis to Song, one of the most amazing projects we've ever been involved in!

Merry whatever, friends.

We were running short on record mailers (we send our LPs out to radio stations and magazines all the time) so we decided to put out a call to our community.. and the call was answered!

This also satisfies Bob's 'reduce, reuse, recycle' sensibilities. Thanks for a gift that allows us to keep on givin', Salvatore!

Check out this nice review of our Manifestation 11 compilation! It was penned by Ear Of Corn, a small zine from the Midwest.

Personally, I think all music recommendations should come from small zines in the Midwest - so big thanks Ear Of Corn and to all the bands who contributed to this weird compilation (especially the ones appreciated most by small zines in the Midwest.)

If you publish a small zine from the Midwest, or enjoy "ambient, experimental, and near noise" music, click the link in our bio to give it a listen and to scoop up a copy ~> 💻🕵️‍♂️

Spotify sucks.. we know this, and now so does everyone else. 🕵️‍♂️⚠️

This has been a huge talking point on the Internet this week. Everyone is looking for streaming alternatives and better ways to support the artist they care about. With that in mind we'd like to remind you that it's once again BANDCAMP FRIDAY!

On Bandcamp Friday, all sales go directly to the artist and help the labels that produce them. Your money not going to huge corporations like Sony, Columbia, or Warner - or just putting gas in another billionaire's jet.

Other than going to shows, which you should definitely do as often as you can, this is one of the best digital opportunities you have to support real independent artists.

Plus, if you buy from us, you get a really nice hand written letter from Bob!

When a beat becomes rolling thunder ⚡

As the drummer for Houston punk legends Really Red, our founder, Bob Webber, hammered out the rhythms that shook warehouse floors and helped light the fuse on our city's explosive underground scene. In the years that followed that same raw spark became CIA Records, the label he founded to keep Houston’s loud, weird, and unstoppable creative spirit alive.

What started as a beat in a DIY practice room has grown into a thunderous calamity of music, memories, and community. This Small Business Saturday, we celebrate the independent shops, labels, and makers who keep Houston noisy. And we celebrate Bob, the rhythm, the rebel, and the reason CIA Records still kicks.

While everyone is thinking about alternatives to Target, Amazon and the like this weekend - remember art. It's still out here and it still feels (and sounds) like the resistance we all need these days.

The Marfa-based duo Air Field, comprised of Phil Boyd (Modey Lemon / Hidden Twin) and Nick Terry (Kimazui Chinmoku / C6Fe2RN6), will be bringing their atmospheric sound to Houston this Thursday.

Arrive early, grab a comfortable spot (maybe in the front but slightly off-center for a good sonic experience.)
