On this episode of the podcast, we dig deeper into the excellent New York City-based, Ever/Never Records, a label focused on various strains of sub-underground rock activity, or in the label’s own tongue-in-cheek words: “Specializing in music for adults.” I chat with label owner, Josh Gordon, about the history of the imprint, about some of the challenges and considerations of running a small label, and about some of the releases he has put out. We also touch on Gordon’s own musical activities in the groups, Maximum Ernst and Consolidated Plastics. Throughout you’ll hear a healthy selection from the Ever/Never catalog, including tracks from some new and forthcoming releases. I hope you enjoy this episode. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or comments. As always, thanks for looking and listening.
