About Us

Carnation Oak was born from a simple love: the thrill of crate digging, the joy of discovering hidden gems in dusty record shops, and the magic that happens when music and art collide. What started as a weekend hobby, flipping through vinyl, chasing rare grooves, and soaking in album artwork grew into a lifelong passion and, eventually, a vision for something bigger.

At Carnation Oak, we believe every record tells a story. Our label is built on the idea that music is more than sound, it's a living, breathing art form that connects people across time and place. We celebrate the artistry in every detail, from the first note to the last brushstroke on a cover.

Our mission is to champion creativity in all its forms. We work with artists who share our devotion to authenticity, originality, and craft, whether they’re musicians, illustrators, or designers. We offer vinyl and digital releases, unique merch, and a platform for artists to share their voices with the world.

Carnation Oak isn’t just a label. It’s a community for those who love digging deeper, listening closer, and appreciating the art behind the music. Join us as we continue to uncover, create, and share the sounds and visions that move us.
