Interview: WereGnome Records

Through the mists and mystery of time, and from a tomb burrowed into the mantel of a lost and ancient land, comes Nicky the Gnome, chief mage of curation over at WereGnome Records, to share the treasures of his keep with you, dear listener. Dropping the exaggerated prose, for this episode, Nicky and I get into the ins and outs of running a cassette label focused on promoting black metal, chiptune, dungeon synth, and, in general, weird underground music with a lot of personality. If that sounds like your bag, then you are in luck! WereGnome Records is a unique and oddly approachable label in a space that is not known for its welcoming vibe. They break the mold so you can reap the benefits. (Warning! Listening to this episode may convert you to regularly wearing Crocs around the house.)
