180 Grams: the stories behind remarkable albums. 

180 Grams? The weight of a collector's edition vinyl record.

We'll take you right into the process of albums you love, as told by the key players.

The studio bickering, main stage triumphs, tense late night phone calls and sold out launches.

It's an Access All Areas listening experience that pulls apart how records are conceived, born and grow up in public, from the early demos to the risky creative decisions right up to the finished product. 

You'll hear fresh stories from the bands, managers, label big wigs and small wigs, booking agents, icons, all eager to talk about their part in a modern classic.

180 Grams will help you hear albums in a new light, beamed into your brain from a different angle with a deeper perspective and juicy, often spicy insights.

180 Grams

An album captures an artist or band in a room with a multitude of distinct personalities all pursuing the same goal: making a new piece of art they can be proud of.  

In a world where so much is laid out for us is there a more nervous and giddy feeling than playing a new album by an artist you love?

The word album has a more obvious etymology than you may think. 

In the early 20th century recorded music was released in a format of 78 Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) Bakelite records containing only a few minutes of music on each side. 

The big black discs were sold in a cardboard album and placed in individual sleeves like the pages of, yep, a photo album.

Fast forward to 1948 and record company Colombia combined business smarts, technological innovation and marketing strategies to popularize the Long Playing Microgroove format or LP as we now know it. 

This changed everything, allowing a longer and more immersive experience for music fans, 17 minutes each side which fit in 90% of symphonies. Classic.

British author Travis Elborough describes the change eloquently: "The album was welded in our collective consciousness".

Developments in the world of vinyl production lead to a warmer, richer sound favoured by audiophiles. Those in the know will tell you the best quality vinyl weigh 180 Grams. 

Most albums weigh 120 or 140 grams but 180 grams vinyl is sturdier, more durable and will last longer without warping.

“And I just sort of held the phone for a minute to digest that.” Jeremy Furze, manager of The Teskey Brothers

Bonus: A nomination calls 🇺🇸

Not just the album, released on 2 August 2019, but the Colors Session recorded in Germany too sends a Teskey wave around the world.

This record is not going to promote itself!

The Band is booked to support Tash Sultana through the US before the Australian album tour at the biggest home-country venues they've ever played.

And the awards show they've watched since they were kids, the ARIAs, announces the 2019 nominations.
