Newsletter #12: New Home, New Drops, Bandcamp Friday Love

Hi friends,

We're back. New drops, new site, and vinyl flying out of France.

After years running the label through Wix, I’ve just migrated Urban Trout Records over to a new platform: Ghost.

Why the change?
Because I believe in supporting platforms that respect creators, value independent voices, and don’t mine your data to the highest bidder. It’s about creative freedom and moral clarity.

What’s New:

Bandcamp Friday — €20 Vinyl Special
Limited-time discount, shipping from France.
