News • July 20th, 2026
|Music lovers in Yorkshire have something special to celebrate as the limited-edition NEW GROUNDS Vinyl is now available for purchase. This unique double LP can be found at several local independent record stores, including The Record Café in Bradford, Crash Records, Jumbo Records, and The Vinyl Whistle in Leeds. Fans of vinyl will want to get their hands on this special release, as only 1,000 copies have been made worldwide.
TRIBE's Vinyl Club Launch
The release of the NEW GROUNDS album marks a significant milestone for the TRIBE Vinyl Club, a new initiative from the design-led hotel brand TRIBE. Launched in these stores on 17 July 2026, this club aims to bring music back into the heart of hotel social spaces, transforming how guests experience music during their stay. The album was created in collaboration with Radio Nova and features a range of tracks that showcase the cultural diversity of the music scene.
Exclusive Tracks and Collaborations
One of the standout features of the NEW GROUNDS vinyl is that each side includes an unreleased track made exclusively for TRIBE. These tracks include:
Is This Love? by Principles of Joy
Carousel by Hendrix Harris
Sans Soleil (Deserted Island New Grounds Remix) by Golden Bug
Impossible Love by Get A Room! & Paprika Kinski
Each of these tracks reflects a different emotional experience, capturing the essence of the journey imagined through the album. This makes the vinyl not just a collection of songs, but a narrative that takes listeners on a sonic adventure.
A Cultural Experience
TRIBE hotels are embracing local music cultures by partnering with independent record stores across the UK, including locations in Altrincham, Bangor, Bedford, and many more. This initiative aims to create a deeper connection with local communities through various activities such as live music showcases, artist meet-and-greets, and listening sessions. Selected record stores will also have TRIBE listening stations, providing a space for visitors to discover and purchase the NEW GROUNDS vinyl and other curated selections.
Transforming Hotel Spaces
The TRIBE Vinyl Club is designed to change how music is experienced in hotel environments. Traditionally, music in hotels has often been background noise, but TRIBE is shifting that perspective. "Too often, music in hotels becomes something people hear, but never really engage with," said Jean-Yves Minet, Global Brand President of TRIBE. He emphasised that the aim of the Vinyl Club is to ensure that music becomes a focal point for social interaction, allowing guests to connect more meaningfully with their surroundings.
The Journey of NEW GROUNDS
NEW GROUNDS is structured across four sides, each representing a different phase of a journey:
Side | Theme |
|---|---|
A: Unveil | The moment when everything begins. |
B: Discover | Exploring and shifting perspectives. |
C: Connect | Gathering and sharing experiences. |
D: Drift | Slowing down and letting go. |
This thoughtful arrangement not only provides a listening experience but also mirrors the natural progression of travel — from the excitement of arrival to the calm of departure.
