Origami Vinyl is a small local record store located in Echo Park. The store specializes in vinyl recordings only, so this isn't the place to find deals on used CDs.
As an alternative to the warehouse experience of Amoeba Music, Origami carries high-profile new releases of indie artists, as well as lesser-known 7-inch singles from bands just getting started. The shop even has an entire section dedicated to Los Angeles music, spanning electronica, hip-hop, punk and more.
Nearly every week, the store will host a free in-store performance by local and touring bands, offering you a chance to see a wide array of artists. With a friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere, Origami offers a community-based experience to music lovers.
