    Portland underground indie Royalty. Shop owner is genuinely hard working and kind and truly passionate about art. Honest, so asking his opinion on anything is available if you're unsure of something. Possibly one of the only legit storefront bosses of Portland Maine. People preying on that location should go back to sleep and move back to boston or Canada if they have no intentions of beautiful. At least buy a record, hand painted hat by me, or a film you've been meaning to see. Maybe you'll be more beautiful and strange as a result.

    Awesome and cool store! So much to look at , local art and weird cool vintage items are filled to the brim of Strange Maine. Super friendly employees and overall staple of Portland. Must go, must go 🤘

    Brendan the owner is the greatest guy, always points me to music I’ll like and doesn’t mind chatting and vibing out. Zero pretentiousness, which is rare in Portland record stores these days.
    Great place to sell your art or music as a DIY maker. I’ve consigned paintings, tapes, and clothes there! Also was the place I got into local Portland/Maine music, the general used cd selection is always fluctuating but the local section is huge and has great selection of Maine artists past and present.
