Record Players

About This Movie

Record Players is an oddity, to say the least. It captures a bizarre ritual where a group of assistants treat vinyl records as canvases for destruction, turning music into a tactile experience. The atmosphere feels raw and chaotic, almost like an underground art piece. Pacing is erratic, reflecting the frenetic energy of the performances; they scratch, rub, and eventually crush records underfoot, creating a unique commentary on music consumption. Practical effects are front and center here, with no digital interference—just real, messy action. It’s a curious blend of performance art and film that really stands apart in its sheer audacity. Definitely a conversation starter in the right collection.

Record Players has a limited release history, and it’s quite hard to find in good condition, especially on physical media. Most copies seem to float around in niche collector circles, often sharing tales of their unorthodox screenings. Interest remains among those who appreciate experimental cinema and its relation to music, making it an intriguing piece for collectors focused on the avant-garde and the unusual.
