About Us

Little Cloud Records took shape in October 2016, founded by Mike Nesbitt, Josiah Webb, and Joe Nesbitt, with Nicholas Hennig joining in 2018. What began as a simple way to release Magic Shoppe vinyl quickly grew into a home for the psychedelic, the fuzz-drenched, and the wonderfully off-center music we love.

Today, Little Cloud Records is proud to be the new home of The Dandy Warhols, one of the most influential alternative and psychedelic bands of the past three decades. Their legacy, impact, and far-reaching creative orbit have shaped modern psych and indie culture in ways few artists can claim. Our long relationship with the band deepened through Pete International Airport—led by Peter Holmström—and continues to expand now that the Warhols themselves are part of the label family.

Beyond this cornerstone partnership, the LCR catalog has grown into a cross-continental tapestry of modern psych. We’ve worked with Elephant Stone, Canada’s sitar-driven psych-pop visionaries led by Rishi Dhir; the long-running cosmic wanderers Asteroid No. 4; São Paulo noise-mystics Firefriend; Portland’s kaleidoscopic art-psych collective Sun Atoms; Los Angeles’ darkly cinematic Tremours; Detroit stalwarts Sisters of Your Sunshine Vapor; North Carolina legends The Veldt, pioneers of soul-infused shoegaze-psych aka soul-gaze; San Francisco’s dream-drenched Pink Breath of Heaven; and the swirling, ethereal Stargazer Lilies, known for their lush, hypnotic blend of shoegaze and psych. They join a wide range of artists who’ve come aboard as the label continues to evolve.

On the digital side, we run our own distribution system, sending music out to all the usual streaming galaxies—Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, and many more. Wherever people press play, we make sure the music finds them.

Unfortunately we will not be accepting band submissions for the 2026 cycle. With our local pressing plant that we have used for the past nine years closing its doors, production costs have risen, and we’re keeping a more manageable release load while we adjust. We’re also taking this time to focus on long-term planning and refine our internal processes.

We truly appreciate your interest and understanding. Please check back in the future for updates. And rest assured—we’re staying focused, not drifting off into the stratosphere.

We thank you for your curiosity.
