At Stack Records, we believe music is more than just sound — it’s a mood, a moment, a companion to your daily rituals.
With Stormy Weather Vol. 2, we return to that feeling — leaning into slower rhythms, reflective tones, and records that meet you where you are when the skies turn grey.
When the weather rolls in, the right music can transform the atmosphere entirely. Here are five albums for stormy weather — to sit with while the elements do their thing. Stay safe and warm.
We’ll always cherish the experience of immersing ourselves in full albums. Take your time with them. Happy listening.
Hidden Gem — The Zenmenn & John Moods
Music From Memory
Music From Memory present a new chapter in their collaboration with Berlin-based band The Zenmenn. Hidden Gem is the result of an extended studio session with songwriter John Moods, following their debut Enter The Zenmenn. Named after a country song that didn’t make the final cut, the album emerged from an improvised session in a field of mystical meadows south of Hamburg — a recording shaped by atmosphere, chance, and subtle transformation.
A Path to Open Air II — Tobias Wilden
Kitchen. Label
A Path to Open Air II continues Tobias Wilden’s long-form exploration of nature, space, and perception. Evolving from his 2013 original, the album deepens his connection between acoustic composition and environmental atmosphere — capturing a sense of stillness far removed from urban life.
The Sirens — SHOLTO
Deep Matter
SHOLTO’s The Sirens is a deeply emotive work exploring desire, doubt, and duality. Drawing from myth and personal reflection, the album moves between beauty and tension — shimmering textures, haunted space, and fragile intimacy woven throughout.
Trust The Stars — The O’My’s
HiyaSelf Recordings
Chicago duo The O’My’s deliver a genre-blurring record of soul, hip-hop, jazz, and alt-R&B. Released via Nightmares On Wax’s HiyaSelf imprint, Trust The Stars unfolds as a lush, emotionally rich sonic tapestry.
Radio Yugawara — Passepartout Duo & Inoyama Land
KITCHEN. LABEL
A meeting of Passepartout Duo and Japanese environmental pioneers Inoyama Land, Radio Yugawara explores the philosophy of “slow music” and deep listening. Emerging from shared improvisation and cross-cultural exchange, the album continues the legacy of kankyō ongaku — music as environment, connection, and presence.
