We give words to the silent Self.
At THE TWELVE TAPES LABEL, our mission extends beyond the realm of sound. We believe that music and literature are two sides of the same coin, each enriching the other. Our publishing house is the literary home for a universe of works that are conceived as integral parts of our conceptual albums. Here, every book is an essential piece of a larger narrative.
Our catalog is built on a diverse and ambitious vision. We publish works that are either foundational to or complementary to our musical releases. These include:
-
Narrative Worlds: Collections of short stories and novels that expand the lore of our conceptual albums, offering a deeper dive into the characters and themes.
-
Poetry and Musicality: Lyrical works that serve as both the foundation and the companion to our musical compositions, inviting the reader to experience the words and the music as a single, cohesive opus.
-
Technical and Academic Works: Books on psychoanalysis, history, and education that provide the intellectual and philosophical underpinnings for our artistic projects.
Each book we publish is a testament to the interdisciplinary philosophy of the label. They are an extension of our commitment to "Creating a universe of sound and narrative, one opus at a time," offering a window into the human psyche through the art of storytelling and critical thought. We invite you to explore our literary offerings and discover the stories that give our music its soul.
