about

For Record Store Day's June 12th 2021 date this year we are releasing The Travels by Molly Nilsson on a new pressing, limited to 500 on clear green vinyl. This will only be available via your local independent record store. We may have some copies to sell after but more than ever it's important to celebrate and support record stores as physical places at the heart of music communities. Spaces that weirdos can congregate and share ideas, discoveries, loves, hates. In fact it's because my day job is working in record stores that I came to know Molly.

In a previous life, one of my jobs was to search out and stock artists for an independent record store in London, artists who had often slipped through the cracks of a staid, predictable music industry. Though this job was separate to running a DIY record label, it was always instructive seeing both sides of the process. One Monday morning in 2010 a small batch of CDrs and a vinyl record were left for me with a polite note from someone called Molly Nilsson, a Berlin-based artist who had just played a show in London the night before. After an email exchange wherein I tried to restrain my overbearing enthusiasm, I offered to help Molly in any way I could; I just wanted to get this music to as many people as possible. From this exchange, I helped Molly with some press releases for her next record History and then we agreed to collaborate on her 5th album, The Travels. I can place many exciting things that happened with Night School from this decision and time but right now I feel the most important thing that happened was that it lead to an enduring friendship with Molly that’s taken in many gigs, tours, releases, fun nights and great breakfasts. The Travels is special for these and so many other reasons. Like all of Molly’s music, it strikes a perfect balance between personal experience and universal outlook. The original vinyl pressing of The Travels consisted of a standard LP and a spiral picture disc, all of which came with a “Safe Travels” condom. From the first “Hello.. Hello..?” refrain of it worlds apart, it already feels like a classic, at least in this small corner of the world we call our own.
