Pressed to Impress

"Whether you’re putting on an old favorite or taking a chance on something new, the feel and the ceremony around a real vinyl record just hits different....Magnolia Record Club’s tagline is “curated by artists, not robots.” And from the look of things, they have some good relationships; recent Curating Artists include Brandi Carlile, Josh Ritter, and Shovels & Rope."

"If you are a fan of vinyl, the Magnolia Record Club will be of interest to you...One of the downsides of services like Apple Music and Spotify is that we have millions and millions of options for music. With services like Magnolia, music is treated more like the art that it actually is."

"Rather than singular songs, it’s records, the stringing together of tracks into an artistic statement [...] that matter.

It’s a record you play on repeat to carry you through a breakup. And it’s a record you put on when inviting someone over for dinner and sharing a bottle of wine. In grief and love and joy, and when under stress, it’s records that you remember, and when you remember a record, you’re more likely to follow an artist over the long haul."
