Introducing, Gabby Busby, social media manager at Earth Libraries!

I’ve always had a deep love for music, and helping share artist’s work with the world feels like such a privilege. There’s something so fulfilling about bringing an artist’s work to life online, and being a stepping stone in connecting their music with other people.

Introducing our archival expert, bio writer and radio coordinator… Lee Shook!

As a lifelong music writer, cratedigger and DJ, nothing gives me more of a thrill than finding great music and sharing it with others, which is one of the things we love to do here at Earth Libraries. Having joined the team 2.5 years ago to help head up the archival wing of the label, as well as write bios and do background interviews with artists, it’s been really fun bringing lost recordings and history back to life through our collective efforts to make sure hidden treasures from around the world finally see the light of day. And whether that’s great country music, garage rock, post-punk, folk, funk, jazz, soul, avant-garde or anything else, we want the Earth Libraries name to be a symbol of quality and a trusted source for all things awesome, no matter where they come from around the globe. But especially when it comes to music from our home here in the Deep South, both new and old, which we love. Excited for people to hear what we’ve been working on for 2025 and beyond.

Never far from the turntable: Captain Beefheart, John Zorn, Caetano Veloso, Grateful Dead, Funkadelic, Sinkane, Sun Ra, Can, Wilco, Talking Heads, Pylon, Rev. Fred Lane, Love of Life Orchestra, Waxahatchee, and any great disco records I can find while out rooting around in record shops around the country.

Introducing Sophie Griffin, label manager at Earth Libraries!

“I started with the label in 2021, helping out with small tasks, and now I’m proud to be the first full-time employee!

As an artist and songwriter, I’ve found so much fulfillment in supporting other artists to bring their projects to life. Whether I’m involved in the creative direction or simply offering a space to bounce ideas around, I truly feel like I’m working alongside friends. It’s an honor to work with artists I genuinely believe in and love listening to.

Dorio’s new song, “make My World” is out now✨☁️

“Make My World” taps indie pop, electronic, and orchestral elements for the latest expansion to Dorio’s meticulously handmade sonic universe. The spring-loaded duet features core Dorio collaborator Rachel Rascoe on vocals. Akin to Stereolab’s 90s-does-60s reinvention ethos, classic melodies meet unexpected twists. It’s a little funny, but it fits.

We’re soooo excited to welcome back The Medium with their new single “Feel The Dream” - out today😎 Link in bio to listen AND check out the music video, featuring puppets made by The Medium and co.

This might be one of our favorite Medium songs to date. It’s fun, it’s catchy… it feels like an instant classic. And it’s the first song off of The Medium’s upcoming EP, Sports! - due March 5th via Earth Libraries. 🏈🥊⚾️

Sports! is a short musical exploration of American boyhood. It navigates the band’s pasts with mixed emotions, ranging from pure nostalgia and enthusiasm, to superfluous machismo headbanging. Hell yeah!!

Introducing Bre Saxon, co-owner of Earth Libraries!

Bryant and I first met at a college house party I hosted. Our living room walls were lined with vinyl records, and guests could play anything they wanted. He walked in wearing a Devo shirt, and it was love at first sight. Fast forward to today, and we own more records than a lot of record stores. We fully support each other’s passion for preserving analog culture, never judging one another’s dedication to the art. I often joke that the artists on our label are like the children we never had, and we’re their biggest cheerleaders. Investing whatever we can in hopes that they’ll succeed. When I’m not working on the label, you’ll usually find me in the garage refurbishing vintage photobooths—another labor of love preserving a part of history.

When Bryant isn’t DJing my go to’s are Beach House, Otis Redding, Devo, Cindy Lauper, and pretty much anything from the Elephant 6 label. I also love playing music league with our friends because they endlessly introduce me to new music.

We’d like to introduce you to our team, starting with the founder of Earth Libraries, Bryant Saxon! Starting the label around 2019, Bryant sought to bridge the gap between new and archival music.

“My journey with music has been a lifelong exploration—starting with the mixtapes I made from the radio as a kid, transitioning through stacks of CDs, countless MP3 playlists, and crate-digging for vinyl. These days, I find myself drawn to the stories behind the music—private press records, forgotten albums, and hidden gems left to gather dust until they’re rediscovered. At Earth Libraries, I focus on reissuing and introducing archival music, uncovering sounds and stories that might otherwise be lost to time. Recently, I’ve been focused on audio restoration, remastering, and designing web EPKs to help share the incredible music and stories we’re uncovering. Starting this label was born out of a passion for music that connects us across generations and geographies. My hope for Earth Libraries is to create a platform that champions artists and preserves music history, all while connecting it to new audiences.

Some favorites that never leave my rotation include William Onyeabor, ESG, A Certain Ratio, Swamp Dogg, Lewis, and Abner Jay — to name a few. :)”
