IAMSOUND Presents the LA Collection + Restocks

New Adds
Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros/Moonrats Split 7” (The LA Collection #1 – IAMSOUND)


IAMSOUND is proud to present The LA Collection, a series of limited edition split 7-inches to be released from February to August in collaboration with one of their favorite UK record stores, Pure Groove Records. All artists are LA acts hand-picked by IAMSOUND that represent the true talent and diversity that they believe the City Of Angles has to offer. All of the artwork is done by local artists Ingrid Allen and Elisa Saether, with typesetting by designer Aaron Rose.

Kicking off the series is this excellent split with Ed Sharpe and his crew offering up a live version of the summery sing-a-long "Up From Below" and The Moonrats bring the hypnotic swagger of "Goodnight Blue". Both are gems! Don't miss out and keep your eye out for more fun from IAMSOUND.

Cold Cave Take-Over Origami Tomorrow + Tons of new stock!

From Matador (Cold Cave's Label)
"We here in New York City are a little tired of our west coast friends telling us about their recent streak of 80 degree days. It’s February. It’s supposed to be cold. It’s supposed to be dark. It’s supposed to be gloomy. Deal with it. So to combat the sunshine we’re sending a little bit of the East Coast over to Echo Park tomorrow night when Cold Cave takes over Origami Vinyl for a few hours before their show at The Echoplex.

The store will feature a wall of LPs curated by Cold Cave frontman Wes Eisold, some books and records from Eisold’s own Heartworm Press, a special DJ set/meet-and-greet from the band and free Colt 45.

So quit applying your sunscreen and get your February on."

Sounds fun right!
