Some of my favourite music from qd artists elsewhere this year - huge thanks to them for being part of the series!
Shout-outs and more thanks too x
Hi friends - hope all good :)
It’s obvious to say that without the artists, a record label is nothing.
This year I’ve been deeply honoured to release music from some of my most admired musicians, people whose work I listen to purely for my personal enjoyment - it’s the core tenet of quiet details that it’s artists I love, and their interpretation of the phrase.
What a series of albums they delivered. I was constantly and consistently taken aback by each new set of tracks I received - each artist out-doing themselves with their creativity and imagination.
Thankfully for all of us they’ve also put out music elsewhere, either on other labels or self-releases - so today I’d like to share with you some of their albums I particularly loved, and hopefully they’ll provide a starting point to dig into their other work.
Please support the artists if you like the music - I say it time and time again, buying music, either on Bandcamp, an artist/label’s website, a record shop or wherever, is what helps them keep doing what they do - something we all need.
Music’s universal and we must look after the makers x

And finally… massive thanks to all of you out there that have supported quiet details this year. The community around the label has grown so much and I’m incredibly grateful to each and every one of you x
You’re another essential part of the label - all your positivity and enthusiasm, be it joining our listening parties, commenting on Bandcamp and/or social media, sending me messages and more, has been so heartwarming and gives me so much energy to keep sharing music I love with you.
Thank you!
Much love friends, have a wonderful rest of the year - lots to come in 2025 :)
