Alumni LP Highlight: MUNA - "About U"
MUNA's fists-raised power pop is proud, drawing from 80's icons like Heart and Pat Benatar as well as more modern artists like Twin Shadow and Robyn. They exploded onto the scene when supporting Harry Styles on tour in 2017, but it was their first album that brought them into the public lens (and caught Harry's attention in the first place).
Visual Artist Feature: Nate Harris
Volume 039 is an introspective record that suggests a direction but lets you choose your path. The album's design needed to share that sense of self-guided meditation. The artwork of Nate Harris was a natural fit, with minimal linework, shapes and silhouettes giving your imagination room to run wild. Join us as we learn more about Nate's background and distinctive artistic style.
