COHORT RECORDS

Ok, so the page isn't so cute. So sue me.
But as usual, it will be in constant flux
so
check in every once and a while.
Cohort Records
is a label for the adventurous
listener.
We release vinyl, CDs, and now CDRs.
We also do distribution,
so if you're interested in music
out of the ordinary and out of the
mainsteam, or if you have a label of
your own that's looking for some
exposure, get in contact with us.

Here's our list of available releases. Much of this is in short supply so please choose alternates or let me know if you're willing to wait. Also take special note of shipping costs. These may change at any time. I plan to update this list the first week of every month.

Please note that prices in the label release section have been reduced $1 as of August 1. We've also added some free track downloads. Enjoy!
