Meet Molly Compton (mollster_mash), the 'scene mom' behind Ur Mom Records, a small DIY label making handmade runs of records, tapes, and T-shirts for small artists. Her goal? To help these artists sustain themselves on the road. | ✍️ debbiemarieb_
Molly Compton is a scene mom and mentor who founded the independent label Ur Mom Records in December 2021, using her savings and support from family.
That was what my life was like for about four years. I did that 24/7—so many different things happening all the time. And now nothing scares me, right? Any of the things that I encounter now on a day-to-day basis, my time at the Museum of Post Punk & Industrial Music was the scariest it could have been. And I didn’t know what I was doing. So now I know what I’m doing.
Here’s the process to make vinyl. When records are pressed, it’s done by two big metal stampers. They’re seated up, and you press them together and then that makes the record. But before you make the stamper, you cut into this big sheet of metal, 18 inches diameter, covered in this varnish called lacquer. And you cut into that lacquer—which is very, very fragile—with a slick sapphire or diamond needle on a lathe. And that cuts the information on the lacquer.
After I started Ur Mom Records, the first order of business was finding artists who were looking for physical goods, whether that be records or tapes or shirts, to just help them—to give them a little something so they can use that cash on the road or somewhere. I really like to do one-of-a-kind pieces. The records that we do all have these three lines through the design, but they’re all a little different.
