STEREOGRAM RECORDINGS is an Edinburgh based record label run by musician/DJ JEREMY THOMS with press and PR by journalist INNES REEKIE. A Brief History:

Stereogram Recordings didn’t quite come kicking and screaming into the world in 2012 – instead it arrived without much bluster and fuss, but with true intention. Initially, it was solely a vehicle to facilitate label founder Jeremy Thoms’ beat com

bo, The Cathode Ray’s musical musings being heard by a wider demographic. Stereogram Recordings achieved its objective almost immediately, with a Radio Track of the Month (Radio Scotland – Janice Forsyth) and ‘Single of the Year, so far (The Guardian – Paul Lester). “The Cathode Ray”, their eponymously titled debut album, additionally garnered countless critically acclaimed reviews from all the right places. The label then opened its doors to The Fabulous Artisans and to Roy Moller, (‘Scotland’s best kept secret’ – Marc Riley 6 Music) in 2013, resulting in the release of the wonderfully avant-garde pop, and particularly journalist friendly, “One Domino” album; followed by the Lou Reed concept album, “My Week Beats Your Year”. James King and the Lonewolves were next to nail their sails to the mast with the once more extremely well-received “Lost Songs of the Confederacy” in October 2014. At this point, Stereogram had become a more adventurous, and indeed ambitious proposition than originally intended, and other artistes of a similar literate creative disposition to those already on the label were taking notice. Christopher Medal, Lola in Slacks, and Milton Star all joined the Stereogram family plus the ever challenging and hugely entertaining Band of Holy Joy considerably contributed to the swelling of the Stereogram ranks. Perhaps unwittingly at this stage, Stereogram were laying the foundations for what one journo recently remarked upon – ‘Stereogram are fast becoming the most interesting new independent label in Scotland, perhaps the country’. Stereogram next released The Cathode Ray’s second album “Infinite Variety” in April 2015, followed by Band Of Holy Joy’s “The Land Of Holy Joy” in September, with both once more picking up wonderful critical plaudits along the way. The label culminated 2015 with two ambitious R***e style shows featuring most of the label roster and a compilation sampler “The Sound Of Stereogram”.

2016 saw the label adding The Eastern Swell, STOOR and Those Unfortunates to it’s ranks all of whom released fantastic material, while 2017 saw the Aberdeen based Vintage Calvinos release their debut “An Invitation To Infamy”. Recent activity has included sophomore album releases from The Eastern Swell, STOOR and St. Christopher Medal plus the third album from The Cathode Ray (all on vinyl) plus a foray into publishing via two Photobooks featuring the work of Innes Reekie. Titles published so far are “Sometimes Pleasureheads Must Burn – The Birthday Party and beyond 1980 – 89” and “Nite Life During Wartime – Edinburgh and beyond 1980 – 90”. An occasional Archive Series has also been launched. The first release in this series was a compilation of Thoms’ 90s band NEW LEAF in 2013 which was followed in 2020 by a 25th Anniversary reissue of their debut “On Safari”. In addition to this, 2021 has seen digital reissues of the two EPs made by Thoms’ first recording outfit The Presidents Men.

Delighted to announce that Gift Of Sorts by Chris Reeves is out today via Last Night From Glasgow. Six long years in the making, from the first outline song sketches to today’s fully formed and rather beautifully packaged release. Heartfelt thanks goes out to everyone involved - Alex Thoms for being a key player in bringing the songs to life on the drums, Magnus Kramers for his all round keyboard wizardry, Conal Mooney on the recording, engineering and production fronts and Lainie Urquhart for lending her rather amazing vocals to the tracks. The album is out both on CD and on vinyl through the brilliant Seabass Vinyl, featuring the impressive artwork of Charlotte Henderson and the creative layout of Colin Cassells. Thank you so much to everyone who pre-ordered a record, CD or download, we’re infinitely grateful for your faith in the album. Hope you love it. And anyone who hasn’t yet got one, if you feel minded then please do buy yourself a CD or record, we’d be very grateful for your support. And last but not least, big thanks to Ian Smith of Last Night From Glasgow (and all his team) for joining forces on the release of the album. And thank you all for listening and, we hope, enjoying the music!

Less than a week to go until Gift of Sorts by Chris Reeve is amongst us. Lovely to see the wonderful artwork by in all its glory!

Delighted to release ‘Drifter And The Ragman’ by today, in association with Last Night From Glasgow. This is the third and final single to be released in advance of the album Gift Of Sorts out on 11 April 2025.

The song’s a psychedelic dive into the subconscious mind, where the characters nestle in the darker edges, rising and falling, present but abstract, undefinable but familiar. Rootsy country rock sits alongside Pepper-era surrealism, all delivered with a cheeky lyrical playfulness. A slice of psych-pop, classic tin-pan alley values, and some fresh musical references. A fitting introduction to the much anticipated album release in April.

Featuring the musical talents of Alex Thoms and the rather stunning artwork by
