The trio’s shared love for vinyl led them to start Wild Yak Records in 2018, and the label has since been making select Nepali songs available on vinyl records. When the three first listened to a vinyl record, they were hooked and realised that no other medium offers the same listening experience. Koirala, Kiran Byanjankar, and Neeraj Gorkhaly are the three people behind Wild Yak Records. The label uses the original analogue song recording after remastering them for vinyl records.Īccording to Sushil Koirala, one of the co-founders of Wild Yak Records, the label’s clientele is spread across five countries-Nepal, the US, the UK, Australia, and Switzerland. Wild Yak Records, a vinyl recording label, has been selling Nepali vinyl records for the last four years. The growing popularity of vinyl records has also helped birth an ecosystem to support it.
Gupta represents a small but growing number of Nepali music lovers who prefer to listen to their music on vinyl records. In Nepal, the format, after losing out to more technologically advanced ones like CDs and digital recordings, is witnessing renewed interest from audiophiles and vintage enthusiasts. In the last few years, vinyl’s popularity has seen a resurgence in several countries. Isn’t that fascinating to know?” exclaims Gupta, who is now 48 and possesses around 500 vinyl records. The moment the pin or the needle hits the vinyl recording, it is actually the scratch formed on the vinyl recording that comes in the form of music. The songs on the vinyl records are literally engraved in those soft plastic discs. Three decades later, that fascination, says Gupta, has not waned. The sight of the slow-moving vinyl record and the distinct sound the turntable produced left Gupta fascinated by the technology.
