Aqualamb is a small record label and publisher putting out music in digital, book and vinyl forms. We decided to start to open it up to conversations with artists and creatives we feel are making this world a better place. Inspired by the lack of album art in the age of invisible music, Brooklyn-based record label AQUALAMB publishes 100+ page printed books of artwork and writings as physical accompaniments to its releases.
