Hydra Head Records is shutting down

I hope I get Jodis. That was the one disc I was really yearning for. Guh I love Jodis.

Damn, that mesa pre / power amp kinda sounds like a good deal.

New Wrinkle, New Hydra Head!

Hydra Head is not shutting down completely. The label can no longer afford to have an office location in Los Angeles, so the operation is splitting up into smaller satellite stations. James O'Mara and Andrew Cox will continue to work for HHR in a more limited capacity from their respective domestic base camps. I will be running the "main office" out of my forest compound in the Puget Sound. Though it seems unlikely that'll we'll be able to put out new records any time soon, we have managed to produce a few vinyl reissues this year (with a few more to come), and clear out a good portion of our accrued debt. We have a long ways to go, the road has been strewn with sizable obstacles, but thanks to the massive support from many folks from all over, and from our (very patient) roster of artists, the future is definitely looking a little less grim. Hydra Head has been an extremely important part of my life for almost 20 years now, and I feel very grateful that it is able to continue, even in its currently diminished form.

It's so good to see that they'll be able to survive (albeit on a much smaller scale) and keep the flame going. I still direct anyone who will listen to Hydra Head any day of the week, and I'd really hate to see them go entirely.
