Walk-In Closet has, since January 2018, been a passion project focused on making it accessible for artists, at first local and later global, to release DIY cassettes of their work.
Walk-In Closet Records started in early 2018 as a collaborative effort between me and Ian Jones while we were in Black Bouquet together. We began creating cassettes for friends and other local artists for a price to dub a number of tapes. Through the years, it became a solo effort until I began working with Atticus Stockdale (of Those Dogs & Peach Rings) on larger orders in 2021. We also began signing out of state and international acts in 2021, though with the closing of the bandcamp store we now mostly do small runs of local North Carolina artists since early 2024. Atticus has not been super involved since 2021 but we still contact each other regarding tapes from time to time. Select runs are available for sale here. Contact Walk-In Closet Records to submit your work or to inquire at walkinclosetrecords@outlook.com
We have put out 3 vinyl records (a full LP and two split singles) but have otherwise only done cassettes and label sampler CDs. A new sublabel has been under works since late 2024: Crumbling State Records (or CSR). This label intends to guerilla release music by artists working in styles that they have not previously done, under new monikers, in compressed file formats. Please contact me through csrrecords@proton.me for further information or to submit your work.
