Trapped Animal Records is an independent label run by musicians, started in London in 2017, incorporated in 2019 and now based in Cambridge with dozens of albums under our belts.

We release music on vinyl, CD and digital from exceptional artists we share a common understanding with. Brought together by timeless songs and good people.

The Record Club exists to make things more sustainable — not just for the label and the artists, but also to bring listeners closer to artists making incredible music, alongside updates from us as we try to find a way to get such timeless noise noticed in these, the most distracted of times.

We fund releases fairly — working with our artists to find ways to cover the costs of making and releasing records, then splitting profits evenly with the artists.

Our artists keep complete creative control of their work.

The Record Club connects you directly to the artists — you’re not just buying a record, you’re helping fund it and along for the ride as it takes shape.
