The Journal of Popular Noise

About Me

The Journal of Popular Noise is a semi annual audio magazine inspired by the traditions of pop music, printed periodicals, and the delight of a finely crafted artifact. Within each edition you will find three 45 rpm records, each by a different artist but conforming to the same editorial structure. Each packaged in a hand folded and numbnered limited edition letterpress printed sleeve. Purchase by clicking the button below!
