Track 19: Vinyl Nation Jun 10, 2021

Show notes

The vinyl record renaissance over the past decade has brought new fans to a classic format and transformed our idea of a record collector: younger, both male and female, multicultural. This same revival has made buying music more expensive, benefited established bands over independent artists and muddled the question of whether vinyl actually sounds better than other formats.
Vinyl Nation digs into the crates of the record resurgence in search of truths set in deep wax: Has the return of vinyl made music fandom more inclusive or divided? What does vinyl say about our past here in the present? How has the second life of vinyl changed how we hear music and how we listen to each other?

As a Record Store Day exclusive, Vinyl Nation will be dropping a limited edition Blue Ray/DVD release on June 12.

For more info on Kevin & Christopher, and all the latest on the film, visit the Vinyl Nation Website.

Also follow the film on Socials, @VinylNationDoc on Facebook & Instagram.
