Over the past decade, new fans are enjoying music in vinyl format, transforming our idea of who a record collector is. This same revival has made buying music more expensive, benefited established bands over independent artists.
Vinyl Nation digs into the record resurgence crates in search of truths set in deep wax: has the return of vinyl made music fandom more inclusive or divided? What does vinyl say about our past here in the present? How has the second life of vinyl changed how we hear music and how we listen to each other?
Check out our filmmaker spotlight featuring the directors of Vinyl Nation!
