Jadd Shickler — founder of Blues Funeral Recordings — on the simple idea at the heart of PostWax, the label's curated heavy rock vinyl subscription series: trust.
PostWax is built on a straightforward premise. Jadd has spent nearly thirty years in this scene — founding MeteorCity, running Magnetic Eye and Blues Funeral, signing and shaping the direction of the bands people love. So the pitch is essentially this: you trust him, and you sign up, and every release lands in your mailbox as a deluxe, hand-numbered, 180-gram record with next-level art and design, curated to fit your sensibility because it fits his. You don't need to know every band. You just have to trust the person picking them.
It's the modern vinyl equivalent of the mixtape — discovering everything on it because you trust the curator. The whole series carries a cohesive visual aesthetic guided by creative director Peder Bergstrand of Lowrider, and Year 1 alone featured exclusive music from Elder, Lowrider, Spotlights, Domkraft with Mark Lanegan, and Big Scenic Nowhere.
