Vera Lindqvist — the new album
Recorded over one Bristol winter in a room with a single window, and cut at half speed on the label's own lathe. Ten weeks at the top of our turntable and counting.
DWX-006 · 180G · GATEFOLD · EDITION OF 500The roster
Gothenburg-born, Bristol-based. Writes in the hour before sunrise; records everything live to tape, mistakes included — that's where the songs live.
Builds slow-burning machine music from a wall of patched cables in Tampere. Two albums with us; neither has a single edit.
Three-piece from the harbourside. Songs about buildings, rain and the last bus home. Louder live than the records let on.
The deadwax
The deadwax is the silent band at the end of the groove, where the lathe stops cutting music and starts keeping secrets. Ours carries a hand-scratched message on every pressing.
Deadwax v1.0 — a Stacklift kit · https://www.stacklift.design/kit/deadwax
One CSS-drawn vinyl record travels the entire page, scrubbed by scroll: giant in the hero, it lands on the platter, tucks into the featured sleeve, and ends as the label stamp in the footer. Four invisible .disc-stop placeholders (sized in CSS) are measured at load; the engine interpolates position and scale between them with an ease-in-out curve on every frame. Fully reversible — scroll up and the journey rewinds. The tunable constants: --turnEase segments in SEGMENT_EASE and the spin period (26s).
Alternating stages --paper-1/--paper-2 keep the sections nearly identical — the traveler is the only show. Spacing --s1…--s6 (0.5 → 7rem) · radius 3px · no colour accent: on light stages the taupe IS the accent, on taupe stages the cream is. Full token sheet and agent instructions ship in design.md.
