Join our Record Club !

The Trapped Animal Record Club isn’t just a subscription — it’s how we make independent records work properly, for both artists and the label. It helps us plan and release ambitious music in a more sustainable way, and builds a direct relationship between the people who make the records and the people who care about them. In a world of increasingly passive listening — where AI artists are starting to blend invisibly into the background — the Record Club keeps things human and community-driven, helping us put out music we believe in and do it in a way that can last.
