For its legion of fans, Other Music was more than just another independent record store. Trading for over two decades, the renowned New York premises achieved something approaching mystic status as the go-to shop for music lovers. Situated across the street from Tower Records, the David and Goliath gamble paid off handsomely, and Other Music proved to be a huge success, also pulling in its fair share of high-profile fans.
Right from the bat, this warm and diverting documentary is a bittersweet exploration of the store. The film’s opening – shot a few days following Other Music’s closure in 2016 – finds a trumpet-heavy procession heading down a busy Manhattan street, a banner with the store’s logo proudly displayed upfront. This could certainly be read as a eulogy, but it’s also a heartfelt celebration of a community and cultural hub eroded by gentrification and the digital revolution.
