New Digital-only Series: OOYH Beacons

ANNOUNCING! Out Of Your Head Beacons is a new series from OOYH Records, launching June 2025. It is similar to the Untamed series in that it is digital-only, but Beacons focuses on entirely improvised performances. It will cover a wide range of genres and will feature music from artists from across the world. While the majority of our catalog is Brooklyn, Richmond, Baltimore, or Chicago based, a main goal of the Beacons series is to highlight music from a much wider geographic area. Here are the first three albums with release dates, and a fourth slated for September featuring a trio of Dave Ballou, Anthony Pirog, and Devin Gray. The awesome original series art + design is by TJ Huff (huffart.com) and each features a city or place central to that recording. We're so excited to share this music with you! Here's what we have for the Summer, with one preview track for each available only on Bandcamp (singles and more info on each coming soon!):
