All Ears Album Listening Party Series
If album listening parties were on your ins list for 2025, you’re not alone. With every second Sydneysider visiting Japan at some point this year, the arrival of the vinyl-bar-inspired listening party was bound to reach us at some point. Three months in, and here we are: with the All Ears deep listening series kicking off on Thursday, March 13.
Inspired by the vinyl bars of Tokyo, the five-night series – touted as "Australia’s first deep listening experience" – will take place at five of the Inner West’s best breweries, with a carefully selected line-up of albums played in full across state-of-the-art Sonos audio systems. The selection of vinyl albums have been selected by Sydney DJ and tastemaker Andrew Levins, and will be played in their entirety across a high-fidelity sound system – uninterrupted from start to finish, just as the artist intended.
On Thursday, March 13, the series will take over Marrickville’s Mixtape Brewing, playing Pink Floyd x Wizard of Oz (Dark Side of the Rainbow). On March 19, Future Brewing will host, playing Outkast’s 2000 album Stankonia. On March 26, the series will make its way to Chuck and Sons Brewing Co for INXS’s 1987 album: Kick. Thursday, April 3 will take All Ears to Wayward Brewing Co for Radiohead’s fourth studio album: Kid A. The series will come to a close on Thursday, April 10 with Mulatu Astatke’s Mulatu of Ethiopia at Wildflower.
Doors will open at 6pm, with Levins introducing the music at 7pm before the album is played in full....
