Spacebomb Studio, proudly housed in Richmond, Virginia since 2010, has been home to recording projects and record labels from all over the world, including Universal, Columbia, Sony, Domino Records, Merge, Communion and of course Spacebomb’s own label. Artists like Bonny Light Horseman, Nate Smith, Arlo Parks, Matthew E. White, Natalie Prass, Julien Baker (Boy Genius), McKinley Dixon, Angelica Garcia, Slow Club, The Waterboys, and podcast S-town have all made Spacebomb Studio their home over the years.
We are committed to a studio and a space that works sonically, practically and spiritually. The space is warm, the gear is great, and our neighborhood is wonderful. A community space for community music. Black Ark meets Muscle Shoals in Richmond, Virginia.
When not being used for a project, the studio is also HQ for all things Spacebomb.
"There is something deeply odd about Spacebomb. It's not just that they have done the one thing that everyone in the music business agrees you shouldn't do in a world where anyone can make an album in their bedroom: set up a recording studio. It's that they set up a recording studio along the lines of Stax or Motown." - The Guardian
“one of the hottest recording locations in the USA” - Sound on Sound
“You might not immediately think of Richmond, Va., as a music center — but Richmond's Spacebomb Studio is changing that” - NPR
