Singles Club
A subscription based record label focused on listening to music one track, and one artist at a time.
In 2014 I worked with my longtime creative collaborator and writer Jeffrey Silverstein to develop a hybrid label/music publication. Putting an emphasis on sitting back and digesting music — one track and artist at a time.

Singles Club released an exclusive 7” single every quarter. Each release contained an original song on side A and an interview with that artist on side B discussing their influences, process, and purpose in writing that song.

Singles Club subscribers received their first issue in custom ’45 boxes and subsequent issues were housed in this box throughout the year.

Volume 2 subscribers received special clear vinyl editions ︎
Issues in volume 2 were available both as subscription box set and as single issues. To allow for distribution through third parties, I developed custom die cut packaging containing liner notes, recording specs, and additional photography all packaged within a thick mylar sleeve.

The Singles Club website was a companion to each release. With every issue we wrote and designed a custom experience tailored to each artist. Every issue contained one main feature, along with 2 companion pieces that dove deeper into their label, other projects, equipment preferences.

The digital issue allowed readers to stream the side-a track. The button reading “Listen & Begin” greets each issue. Once clicked it would drop the user into the first feature and begin playing side A.
Each issue contained a mix of photography, writing, and other ephemera, all aiming to provide a gateway to falling for each subject. I shot a majority of the photography for each issue, built and developed the website, as well as any illustration necessary.
