Mine All Mine Records is proud to introduce Troy Schafer for the first time on this label. Supreme Happiness Forever – originally self-released as a digital-only album – is what Troy Schafer does best. It combines his talent for creating unique and compelling experimental violin works with his ability to create sweeping electronic zone-out landscapes. Troy Schafer is an eclectic if sometimes elusive artist and musician, and we are honored to release Supreme Happiness Forever.

Redolent Spires is a full-length album in two parts by Madison-based experimental improvisors, composers and brothers, AJ and BC Grimm.

For the first time in almost two years, el-tin fun is back on Mine All Mine with the finest example of his brand of lo-fi bedroom rock. It’s fuzzy, raw, and sometimes just a bit surfy.
