About this listen
“Here’s some weird fruit. Trust me — once you bite into it, you’ll love it.”
What if your record label operated like a farmers market for strange, exotic fruit?
PRESENTED BY LANDR - get.landr.com/otherrecordlabels
In this episode, I sit down with Aaron of Weird Fruit Records, a Santa Cruz-based label born out of pandemic farming, unconventional recording spaces, and a love for music that’s just a little… weird.
We talk about:
-
Why “weird” is a compliment
-
Recording inside hollowed-out redwood trees
-
Building a label around production and collaboration
-
The per-project label model (instead of restrictive long-term deals)
-
Balancing artistry, engineering, and marketing
-
Why some music needs to slow down before it’s released
This is a conversation about creativity without handcuffs — and how to introduce listeners to music they didn’t know they were ready for.
