End of an Ear

We love that this record store is still going! You can find some fantastic, eclectic albums here, old and new artists. They relocated from downtown to South Austin, so make a trip and get your hands on some great music.

The Live Music Capital of the World has no shortage of amazing record shops, but End of an Ear has always been my go-to. They tend to focus more on the eccentric stuff than the common rock staples, but as with most shops that do it right, they have something for everyone, no matter what media format you’re after. One of the rarest records in my collection came from End of an Ear (this could be because Austin also hosts one of the biggest annual record conventions in the country). If you’re a electronic/synth music fan like I am, they have one of the better synth/wave sections I’ve ever come across.
