Pl. I — Library, after hours
On the label
A small operation that keeps unsociable hours.
Nocturnal Records signs the kind of artists you find at the back of the room — coldwave, darkwave, post-punk, slow-burning electronica. Music that prefers the hour before dawn.
Every release ships with a physical artefact: a numbered zine, a stem bundle, a poster you can pin instead of frame. The DSPs get the stream. The objects stay here.
Music for the hours after midnight.

The catalogue
Sound, ritual, object.
Four pillars, one label. Drops launch in small runs and stay until they don’t — each release is its own object, pressed, printed, and indexed.

The roster
Eight artists, one nocturne.
Coldwave, darkwave, witch-house, post-punk. The roster shifts the way tides do — slowly, on the moon’s schedule. Each artist ships their own catalogue thread; the label is the binding.
