End of an Ear

End of an Ear is a good size record store in South Austin with an excellent mixture of mainstream and non-mainstream music. They have new releases as well as a very well-curated set of older ones, vintage records, etc. The store likes to separate subgenres a little, including separate sections for 80s post-punk, psychedelic, world music, etc. Their collection includes a good amount of experimental music one may not see in many other stores. They have a clear emphasis on local artists and their work. The store carries quite a few rows of CDs, but their main focus is very clearly on records. They also sell turntables and other music-related equipment.
