First time on vinyl – 20+ years in the making!

If Be Not Nobody was Vanessa Carlton kicking open the door with piano-pop, Harmonium is the record that solidified her as a fearless songwriter—unafraid to lean into orchestral ambition, lyrical vulnerability, and a little bit of weirdness. Originally released in 2004, this cult-favorite sophomore album found Carlton pushing boundaries instead of chasing hits, teaming up with then-boyfriend Stephan Jenkins (Third Eye Blind) to craft something darker, deeper, and way more underrated than it ever got credit for.

Finally available on vinyl for the very first time, we're thrilled to bring Harmonium to the format it always deserved. Pressed on a few stunning color variants with brand-new packaging and lyrics included, this release pays proper tribute to a record that was misunderstood in its time—but deeply beloved by those who get it.

Tracks like “White Houses” and “Private Radio” still hit like open-heart surgery, and deep cuts like “Papa” and “Half a Week Before the Winter” prove she was never just the “A Thousand Miles” girl—she was building her own universe the whole time.

Recommended if you like: Michelle Branch, Rilo Kiley, Regina Spektor, early aughts radio that got a little too real.

Please note: This is a distributed title (which means another label pressed this release), so we do not have any extra jackets for this release in case of minor damage by the USPS in transit. To clarify, It will come packaged in a full-color jacket (as pictured) sealed with plastic wrap UNLESS requested in the comment section of your order to "open the album & place outside of the jacket prior to shipping." This is a good way to prevent potential seam splits along the top of the jacket due to careless handling by the post office, and this service is free of charge. If you forget to write in the comments of your order about shipping outside of the jacket, PLEASE EMAIL US WITH YOUR ORDER NUMBER and ask us to update the notes on your order to ship outside of the jacket. Release days are hectic, especially the first few hours, so please give ample time for a response. We will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you!
