Astral Spirits Records is an independent record label specializing in free jazz, improvisation, and experimental music.[1][2] Based in Austin, Texas, the label was founded in 2014 by musician Nathan Cross, who started Astral Spirits as a platform for "the new wave of heavy free jazz"; as the breadth of the label's offerings expanded, imprint Astral Editions became the home for its more experimental releases.[3]

Astral Spirits has been featured in Bandcamp Daily,[1] All About Jazz,[2] the Chicago Reader,[4] DownBeat,[5] and the Free Jazz Collective;[3][6] Rolling Stone has called the label "crucial"[7] and "enormously prolific";[8] and in 2019, Tiny Mix Tapes included Astral Spirits among their favorite labels of the decade.[9]

History

In the early 2010s, Cross began to consider starting a record label or a live-recorded series as a way to stay involved in music without touring extensively.[10] He spoke with Morgan Coy of Monofonus Press while in the early planning stages, and Coy encouraged him to start a label under the Monofonus umbrella.[10] Cross named the label after a recurring song title in Joe McPhee's work: the first "Astral Spirits" track appeared on McPhee's Trinity, recorded in 1971, and he continued to use the name on later releases (e.g., Oleo and In the Spirit).[2]

Astral Spirits began as a cassette-based label, but later expanded to include vinyl and CDs.[4] All albums are also available as digital releases, but the catalogue is not available through low-revenue streaming services such as Spotify.[2]

Since the label's inception, Cross has handled most logistics––aside from artwork and layout––himself, including curation, press, and shipping.[2]

Astral Editions

Cross launched Astral Editions in 2019, initially intending to make it a digital-only offshoot.[10] The imprint began carrying physical products in 2020, distinguishing itself instead by a greater emphasis on experimentalism outside of the jazz continuum.[10] The Astral Editions Bandcamp carries the tagline, "a primer on some of the best unheard experimental music being made today by names you don't know yet, but should".[11]

Art and design

The Astral Spirits logo was designed by Mason McFee, who also chose the label's signature Cooper Black font; for the first two years, McFee created all tape and LP artwork.[10][12] Jaime Zuverza later took over design, eventually developing a template for the label's distinctive visual aesthetic; he listens to, and creates artwork specifically for, the majority of Astral Spirits releases.[1][2]
