Other Music
Though this legendary New York City record store closed its physical location in 2016 after 20 years, it lives on as an online retailer, mail-order service, and record label. During its heyday, Other Music was the epicenter of independent and experimental music in NYC, known for its carefully curated selection that often featured artists before they broke through to wider recognition. The store's knowledgeable staff and adventurous musical spirit made it a crucial hub for music discovery, with many artists citing the shop as a major influence on their careers.
