Quantity is More Important Than Quality
What if releasing more music is actually more important than making every release perfect? In this episode, I make the case for quantity over quality—and why independent artists and record labels may need to rethink the traditional album cycle altogether. We’ll talk about release frequency, building a catalogue, perfectionism, streaming momentum, and why we’re probably not very good judges of which of our own songs are actually the “best.” This isn’t an argument for making bad music. It’s an argument for making more music, releasing more often, and giving yourself more chances to connect with listeners. Presented by Hellbender Vinyl - hellbendervinyl.com

Poisoned Furrows Records - (Record Label Interview)
Presented by Hellbender Vinyl - http://www.hellbendervinyl.com Poison Furrows is an underground label releasing black metal, dark folk, dark ambient, dungeon synth, and other music from the darker corners of independent music. In this conversation, we talk about building a label around personal taste, why physical formats still matter in niche music communities, and the different roles of cassettes, CDs, and vinyl. We also get into artist relationships, pressing records, finding new music, managing the cost and risk of physical releases, and why slowing down can sometimes be an important part of building a sustainable label.

How to Reverse Engineer Music Promotion
What if the best way to figure out how to promote music is to look at how you discover music yourself? -- PRESENTED BY HELLBENDER VINYL Vinyl pressing for independent artists and record labels. hellbendervinyl.com -- In this episode, I share a simple exercise for reverse engineering the last few records you discovered — and using those discoveries to rethink how you promote your own releases. We talk about the weird and unpredictable ways music finds us, why there probably isn’t one perfect marketing strategy, and why effective promotion is really a combination of low-stakes, mid-stakes and high-stakes actions happening at the same time. Instead of searching for the one big promotional win, maybe the goal is simply to give your music as many opportunities as possible to bump into the right people.

Temporal Drift - (Record Label Interview)
This week I’m talking with Patrick McCarthy and Yosuke Kitazawa of Temporal Drift, celebrating five years of one of the most fascinating independent labels around. PRESENTED BY HELLBENDER VINYL - http://hellbendervinyl.com We talk about building a two-person label, reissues vs. new music, licensing, release schedules, Hiroshi Yoshimura’s incredible Surround, Les Rallizes Dénudés, and how they’ve built a catalogue that can stretch from beautiful environmental ambient music all the way to abrasive Japanese psych and noise — and somehow still feel like the same label. And we try to tackle the interesting thought: Are we eventually going to run out of incredible forgotten records to rediscover?
