Greetings from Accretions!
Accretions hits the big 40 this year! Yes, 40 years of sonic adventures in hopes of turning a few ears to new music by artists from around the globe. We got our humble start as a soundsheet, moved up to vinyl and cassette tape then to CD and upgraded to downloading and finally streaming. We've continued our mission because we believe in what we do. We never really made any money doing this and the returns are getting even smaller every year. But we shall persist as long as artists continue to create new music that begs to be heard.
Thanks for listening and stay tuned for more exciting new sounds!
