Auris Apothecary is a
not-for-profit micro-label hailing from Bloomington, IN which embraces obscure
formats, innovative packaging and do-it-yourself ethics.
We exist because fuck
you.
We release drone, electronic, avant-garde, metal, punk and other varying forms
of underground art from friends and family alongside artists located throughout
the world.
With a general wrench-in-the-gears mentality to the modern commercial music
industry, Auris Apothecary strives to create new forms of musical and sensory
experiences through bizarre alterations of audio/video mediums and packaging
that pushes the envelope of creativity.
All releases are strictly limited editions, distributed in Bloomington, IN
record stores and online at
the Pharmacy.
