2016 Flexi-Series Announced

Written By Adam Pedersen - January 05 2016

We are pleased to announce our roster to the 2016 Flexi-Disc Series!

In case you are unaware, the Joyful Noise Flexi-Disc Series is a platform for some of our favorite artists to release never-before-heard recordings on a fleeting analog format. Artists are encouraged to be as adventurous as possible for the duration of one single-sided flexi disc (which is essentially a square, flexible 7" record). These are unique and ephemeral tracks from some of the best bands in the world.

Each release is strictly limited to a one-time pressing of 1000 copies on clear, single-sided, square Flexi Disc (w/ full cover art chosen by the band). These songs will not be released digitally or on any other format. That is to say, the total existence of each recording is limited to just 1000 copies, on an increasingly-degrading analog format.

2016 will be our 5th and FINAL YEAR of the Flexi-Disc Series - which I know... it's sad. But all good things must come to an end.

This year will feature the following amazing artists:

Ava Luna
Briana Marela
Chris Cohen
Don Caballero
Julianna Barwick
Le Butcherettes
Lil BUB feat. the Uncluded (Aesop Rock & Kimya Dawson)
Ought
Prince Rama
Sondre Lerche
Swirlies
Thurston Moore

Cost to subscribe is $8 / month, with free shipping worldwide (or $22 / month if you wanna combine with our VIP Membership and 7" subscription).

If you choose sign up for the yearly option, you'll also receive the wooden, screen-printed box pictured here (feat. the art of Tyler Keeton Robbins).

Announcing: 2016 VIP Membership

Written By Adam Pedersen - December 21 2015

Greetings JNR friends:

We are pleased to announce our 2016 VIP Membership! In case you're unfamiliar, our VIP program is a special membership that includes exclusive limited vinyl, free downloads of all new releases, free shipping, and much more.

What are you supporting when you sign up? In the age of free digital music, JNR survives because of your VIP membership. We use these funds to pay for fundamental operating costs so the artists ultimately don't have to chip in for things like utilities, rent, packing materials, humble staff wages and other things. This gives us the freedom to treat our artists fairly, and release amazing music with less of an eye on financial viability.

In addition to the usual perks, we have some very exciting changes going into effect in 2016. Most significantly, we have a new singles series, featuring screen-printed, pressed 7" records (and the first one is the Melvins!), plus every VIP will now receive free shipping on all orders anywhere in North America, UK, or Europe.

Here are the details:

VIP Singles Series!

We have a brand new VIP-exclusive 7" series beginning in 2016! Throughout the year we will be releasing monthly singles, pressed on white or clear 7" vinyl w/ screen-printed artwork (and unique screen-printed design on side B). VIP singles feature our "Almost Live" sessions, as well as unreleased "Mystery Singles" from our roster.

And we're very happy to announce that the January installment comes from the Melvins! This is a much-requested, proper vinyl pressing of our Melvins "Almost Live" session in which they covered Bikini Kill's "Rebel Girl" featuring Teri Gender Bender (Le Butcherettes)... now pressed on white vinyl w/ screen-printed art on Side B designed by Mackie Osborne, packaged in a screen-printed jacket. Check it:

FREE SHIPPING!

No foolin’. We are now able to offer FREE SHIPPING for VIPs on ALL orders to North America, UK, or Europe! Yes, that means no more $18 shipping fees for you overseas folks. Priority shipping will still be available as an option, but if you’re a VIP and want standard shipping, there will no longer be any charge. Free shipping will go into effect on January 1, 2016. (Sorry to the folks living in other areas of the world, hopefully we will be able to offer the same deal to you soon.)

FINAL YEAR of the Flexi-Disc Series!

All good things must come to an end… 2016 will mark the fifth and final year for our annual flexi-disc series. And we’re going out with a bang. Lots of amazing artists lined up, who will be announced very soon.

NOTE: The custom-built, screen-printed wooden box will only be available to those who sign up for the yearly option.

Join the movement. Watch new VIP video here!

NOTE: To any of you who are currently signed up for a Deluxe VIP Membership, this VIP Singles Series replaces that… We decided to lose the Deluxe vs. Basic hierarchy and just make it all one level of VIP Membership, with an option to get the VIP Singles Series. If you’re currently a month-to-month Deluxe member, you will be grandfathered into this series by default.

Announcing: Chris Schlarb "Dropsy"

Written By Karl Hofstetter - July 02 2015

Greetings! We would like to direct your attention to our friend, Chris Schlarb. We have been friends with Chris for longer than we've been a label. In fact, our founder Karl used to submit his bands' music to Chris's label for release consideration (the now-semi-defunct Sounds Are Active). Over the years Chris has grown from proprietor of an under-appreciated label to a well-respected composer (and aspiring cult leader), releasing albums with Sufjan Stevens' label, Asthmatic Kitty.

Announcement: We launched a new website!

Written By Karl Hofstetter - June 25 2015

Dale Crover is a man who needs no introduction. In his 30+ years as drummer of the Melvins (and also occasionally, Nirvana), Crover has influenced us here at Joyful Noise more than any other single human being. Seriously.
