Boston's bold label — Music without boundaries.

Evil Clown Records has spent decades championing adventurous music from Boston and beyond, documenting an ever-expanding universe of fearless improvisation, extended technique, spontaneous composition, electroacoustic exploration, and large-ensemble invention. Centered around the tireless work of multi-instrumentalist David Peck / PEK, the label encompasses a sprawling family of projects including Leap of Faith, Metal Chaos Ensemble, Turbulence, String Theory, Sub-Unit No. 1, PEK Solo, and many other shifting configurations, each built around deep listening, unusual instrumentation, and the excitement of music created in real time.

Across more than 200 albums now on sale, Evil Clown brings together a core community of Boston-area improvisers with an increasingly remarkable cast of guest musicians, from adventurous local players to internationally recognized figures in free jazz, creative music, noise, electronics, contemporary improvisation, and experimental rock. The results range from intimate duos and focused small-group encounters to massive orchestral eruptions involving reeds, brass, strings, electronics, invented instruments, percussion, gongs, bells, objects, voices, and sounds that resist easy classification.

For listeners drawn to exploratory, unpredictable, essential music, Evil Clown offers a vast and unruly catalog unlike anything else: ambitious, obsessive, sometimes overwhelming, often astonishing, and always committed to the outer edges of collective sound. For this special sale, more than 200 Evil Clown titles are available for just $4.95 each, reduced from $12.95. Dive in and discover something extraordinary.
