Another Wave Records is an independent record label, vinyl shop, and pressing partner founded in Los Angeles and now based in San Francisco, dedicated to surf rock, exotica, instrumental, and cinematic sounds from around the world.
Established in 2023, we work directly with independent artists and international bands to release and distribute vinyl records, including exclusive U.S. pressings and collaborative label projects. Our roster includes artists such as El Papu & Los Fantásticos Reverberantes, Sys Malakian, Blue Wave Theory, The Undertows, Les Panches Surfers, fla.andrei, and The Avalon Exotica Orchestra, while our shop also curates releases from the broader global surf, lo-fi, exotica, and instrumental scenes.
Beyond our own releases, the Another Wave shop connects listeners with underground artists, rare pressings, and modern records that carry the spirit of coastal adventure, vintage hi-fi, and reverb-drenched sound.
Whether you're drifting through fog along the California coast or discovering a band from across the ocean, Another Wave Records exists to keep the music moving and the scene growing.
Artists first.
Always Indie. Always Waves.
