New York’s best album listening club

As seen on ABC

Go analog

We’re a group of 20somethings in NYC bringing back the lost art of the Album. Come grab a drink and listen to a full record (on vinyl of course) with people who love music as much as you do. The purpose of The Vinyl Word is to give people a space to connect over the shared medium of music. Long live physical media!

Let’s partner!

Want in? We’re always open to partnering with brands and venues. See a list of our past and current partners here.
