As we celebrate 25 years putting out music that we love by artists we love, Barsuk Records is excited and honored to provide our favorite radio stations with a unique digital compilation of rare and physical-only exclusives for your listening pleasure! Most of these tracks are not available on DSPs, but are being given to radio exclusively as our way of saying thank you for 25 years of support!
These tracks, from a broad range of the amazing artists w
e’ve worked with over the years -- including Death Cab for Cutie, Charly Bliss, Nada Surf, Ra Ra Riot, Mates of State, Phantogram and more -- are some of our favorite hidden gems we’ve released, in many cases “hidden” simply because they aren’t available on streaming services. Things sure have changed...
In the same spirit as this compilation of fun rarities, Barsuk will be launching a very limited Discogs “online pop-up" store November 7 – 10, 2023. The store will include rare and out-of-print vinyl from a wide array of our artists, including out-of-print color variants and even some ultra-rare test pressings – with profits being split as usual with the artists. Stock is very limited and will sell out quickly! More information about this limited store will be coming in the next few weeks.
