CORASPECT RECORDS

The release schedule has been slow in 2025, as the tariff issue hit a major LP release which was already in process before the taiffs were declared. This has placed announcement and promotion of the album on hold. This has also placed future cassette releases on standby.

I am considering setting up a Patreon to both help with some of the expenses of running the label, and hopefully be able to pay some money to a few people to help me with running things. I don't like asking for volunteers because people are worth their time and labor. I have some premium items in mind, I still need to sit down and do some planning.

On a personal level, the past five months of the new US administration have taken a toll on me physically and mentally. I'm just not able to comprehend the concept of deliberate cruelty on minorities and the marginalized as a form of governance. As a medium- functioning autistic person, I had developed methods of functioning in a neurotypical world without feeling completely overwhelmed. Those methods haven't worked since I've watched kindness and compassion become demonized and cruelty become monetized and elected.

I try to keep politics out of Coraspect, and instead try to focus on promoting positive music from positive artists. I just bring it up because it is taking a massive toll on me personally, and has affected the label (and everything else in my life) as a result. My biggest fear is being seen as a disappointment by those who have come to rely on me and trust in me. Doing just about anything, to just get up and DO it - takes so much effort right now. I appreciate your understanding so much. In relation to the rest of the scene, I'm extremely old (58) but I do have so much love for this scene and everyone in it.
