About... Walk-In Closet Records

Walk-In Closet Records started in early 2018 as a collaborative effort between Tristan Waiden and Ian Jones while we were in Black Bouquet together.  We began creating cassettes for friends and other local artists for a price to dub a number of tapes.  Through the years, it became a solo effort until I began working with Atticus Stockdale on larger orders.  We also began signing out of state and international acts in 2021, though with the closing of the bandcamp store we now only do small runs of local North Carolina artists since early 2024.

We have put out 3 vinyl records (a full LP and two split singles) but have otherwise only done cassettes and label sampler CDs.
