Clay Pipe Music is a London-based label renowned for its focus on atmospheric and evocative instrumental music. Founded by illustrator Frances Castle in 2011, it has been described by Shindig Magazine as "an entrancing record label built on a foundation of arcadian sounds and gorgeous graphic design." The label has carved out a niche in the music industry with its emphasis on high-quality, limited-edition releases, often featuring visually stunning artwork.
Releases tend to sell out quickly, so if you want to be the first to know when a record is coming out, please sign up for the mailing list or follow Clay Pipe on Bandcamp, Instagram, Facebook or Twitter.
If you are a shop or store wishing to stock Clay Pipe records and CDs, please contact my distributors at STATE51.
Demos
I love discovering new music, but please check out the type of music I release before sending anything.
Send a Soundcloud or Bandcamp link, not MP3s.
Include a short introduction or biography.
Provide some information about your project, including the ideas behind it and how it was created.
Right now, I'm looking for artists for the Mini CD series, which features 20 minutes of music on a tiny 8cm CD.
Please email instead of making contact through social media: info@claypipemusic.co.uk

If you would like to commission an illustration, please contact my agents at: www.arenaillustration.com. I only work through them.
