Trash Aesthetic Records

Trash Aesthetic is a new label with a very unique and egalitarian method of distributing music. TAR will release, in editions of 2-3 copies each, ANY material we receive. Of these copies, 1 will be given to the artist, and the other 1 or 2 will be sold through the label. The idea of Trash Aesthetic, in part, is to totally short-circuit the collector impulse in experimental music, and to encourage true experimentation on the part of the listener. Many artists featured on Trash Aesthetic will be unknown and possibly unreleased elsewhere, and the idea of this label is to provide a forum for these musicians to make a one-on-one connection with a listener. The affordable price of TAR releases will hopefully encourage some chance-taking from listeners, exploring previously unheard sounds in the form of a totally unique art object.
