Background

Leesta Vall was founded by musician Aaron Zimmer in 2012 as a booking agency. They discontinued the agency side of the business and since 2017 have focused exclusively on recording direct-to-vinyl releases that capture live performances.[3] Each individual performance is lathe-cut directly to a 7" vinyl record using modified antique equipment from the 1950s.[4]

Artists

Artists have included Sondre Lerche, Wakey Wakey (band), Pat McGee, Matthew Mayfield, Tony Lucca, Gabe Dixon, Chris Ayer, and Phoebe Hunt (former member of The Belleville Outfit).[5][6] While artists may apply to record at Leesta Vall, Zimmer describes the roster as "pretty selective".[7]
