Liner notes

“A cafe should treat music the way a good cafe treats coffee. Chosen on purpose. Never background noise.”

Theo spent eight years behind Melbourne espresso machines. Priya hosted a late-night community radio show that played whole albums without talking over them. They met at a record fair in West End and opened Long Play in 2023, in an old print shop.

The Friday session started as a staff ritual after close. Six months later we opened the door to everyone.
