synopsis

It Came from Aquarius Records explores the San Francisco-based independent record shop that helped shape the tastes of Bay Area residents and beyond for nearly a half a century. The store influenced and enriched countless peoples' musical tastes with their curated selections -- but this film also shows the realities of an indie record store trying to survive in an increasingly difficult market of brick-and-mortar music shops, especially in the ever-changing and price-gouging Mission District of San Francisco. The store closed in 2016 after 47 years of championing underground and experimental sounds and turning the world onto sound and music of limitless varieties. Interviews include Matt Groening (The Simpsons), Wayne Coyne (Flaming Lips), John Darnielle (The Mountain Goats), Marissa Nadler, Ty Segall, and more.
