Vinyl Experience (10) Record Store Day

Text:Fumimasa Hori



I can’t explain the popularity of vinyl all over the world without Record Store Day (From here, RSD). On the contrary from that, it’s not exaggerated that RSD has played a main role of the vinyl popularity. It’s proof that vinyl sales has grown since the beginning of RSD. Actually, there is a data that the record of vinyl sales in one day was renewed on RSD.

Fursaxa「Alone in the Dark Wood」

Female acid folk Jandek or Mauveside Shaw fans should listen to. The voice without words lures listeners to the underworld.
