"With my family, we make it a habit to put on the latest Vinyl Moon and it’s amazing how the tracks become signposts of our lives. We will play a track from a year ago, and it takes us back to when we listened then."

I started VM because it was the record club I wanted to join... But it didn't exist yet.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Vinyl Moon different from other record clubs?
To put it simply: More variety, more discovery, and more creativity.
MORE VARIETY: The traditional record club format is an "album of the month" format. One album (that already exists) is selected and sent to member each month. I always found that format a bit underwhelming.
MORE DISCOVERY: Vinyl Moon takes the same idea of sending a record each month, but instead of 1 album from 1 band, we make a mixtape of new music from 10-12 different bands.
MORE CREATIVITY: We work with a different visual artist each month to create original artwork and deluxe packaging that push the boundaries of the vinyl experience.
What comes with a Vinyl Moon membership?
- A guaranteed a copy of each month's "mixtape" record, and all the extras it includes.
- A member discount on orders from our Shop. (Where you can buy past volumes of Vinyl Moon, alumni records, turntable accessories, and merch)
- Bundled shipping discounts.
- Early access to exclusive pressings & variants.
- And more to come as we grow the club experience.
How do you make these crazy records each month?
Step 1. Listen to a LOT of new music.
Step 2. Invite the bands we love to be a part of Vinyl Moon.
Step 3: Craft the best fit and flow for songs that work well together and make each other shine.
Step 4. Work with a creative visual artist on the original artwork packaging.
Step 5. Make potentially unwise financial decisions on how deluxe we can make the record.
What music genres do you feature?
Vinyl Moon doesn't stick to any specific genres – meaning you can expect a wide range of great music. You can expect a varieties of indie rock, dance, electronic, hip hop, folk, and more.
You wont find much hard rock, jazz, metal, or rap.
Do you pay the artists?
Absolutely. Supporting the artists we love is at the core of Vinyl Moon's spirit.
We license all the songs directly from the bands (or their labels) and pay them directly as well.
The same for the visual artists we work with. That collaboration is much more complex and we pay for their beautiful and creative artwork for our records.
What about “Explicit” language? Do the records have warnings? Beeps?
While there may be the occasional “bad” word in the lyrics of a Vinyl Moon song, we don’t give any more or less weighting to songs with potentially offensive material. Everyone has a different definition of “explicit”. We are not the morality police and don’t believe in censoring the artists music. However, every record includes a booklet with lyrics and that makes a good resource for pre-screening any language.
What if I don't like my first record?
If you don't love your first record from Vinyl Moon, simply contact us at support(at)vinylmoon.co and we will swap it out for a different record or give you a full refund - no questions asked.
