Household ink Records is an eclectic record label, home to Headless Household and many other artists, founded in 1987. Ideas are flung about.

household ink is a little record label with a few big ideas. It started out in 1987 as the in-house label for the new music combo Headless Household. Now, Household Ink is also a growing, thriving micro-conduit for assorted groups, including Julie Christensen, Dudley, Nate Birkey, flapping, Flapping, Joe Woodard, David Piltch, Shelly Rudolph, Jeff Elliott, Zen Horse Repair, Cara Tower, Brad Dutz, Richard Dunlap, Lean-To, Brad Rabuchin, Fringe Deities, and Jennifer Terran. Genres stretch--new music, folk, rock, jazz, and an operative otherness. Forward motion is valued, as well as thinking in a sideways fashion. Somewhere, amidst confusion and polyism, come little moments of clarity and potential humor.

Dudley, "I Can't Stand It" 09/15/2026

Dudley, the "cosmic indie-folk-rock" band, has released its long-awaited fourth album out--"Beautiful Confusion," on Household Ink Records.

Each "release Tuesday," a song from the album will drop into the socials, in the tradition known around the HI office as "Alphabet Jukebox."

Enter "I Can't Stand It," the most wordplayful and kinetic lark of a tune on the album, in which Ellen Turner percolates and freely associates with the best of 'em, atop a bubbly groove.

To wit:

I can’t stand it but I want it

I can’t want it but I stand it

I want candy but can’t stand it, after.



I stand candid but why flaunt it?

I can’t flaunt it so I can it.

I flaunt campy but can’t plan it after.



I plan canny but I’m daunted

I feel haunted and I’m clammy

I want mammy but I’m stunted after.

Lucinda Lane Makes its Debut at the Intimate, Marsh-front Piano Kitchen in Carpinteria, Saturday, October 10

To celebrate and mourn the theme of Lucinda Lane’s debut album, "Summer is Over," the band heads to the summery splendor and uber-cool Carpinteria venue, the Piano Kitchen, on Saturday, October 10th. The magical and intimate space, presided over and worked in by bassist Jim Connolly, is sometimes dubbed an “artistic danger zone in strolling distance from the world's safest beach.”

The PK is also just a medium size stone's throw from the dreamy natural outpost of the Carpinteria Salt Marsh Preserve.
What better place to experience, in close and cozy quarters, the savory sounds of Lucinda Lane, the self-described "IndieBossaJazzTwang" outfit? The band's core duo--chanteuse Nicole Lvoff and guitarist/songwriter Joe Woodard--will be joined by Connolly, drummer David Garske, Phil Rodriguez on trumpet, Bill Flores on pedal steel (and other musical implements) and TBA?

Dudley, "Deliverance" 08/25/2026

Dudley, the "cosmic indie-folk-rock" band, has released its long-awaited fourth album out--"Beautiful Confusion," on Household Ink Records.
Each Tuesday, a song from the album will drop into the socials, in the tradition known around the HI office as "Alphabet Jukebox."

Enter "Deliverance," a catchy number whose pop-fueled hooks don't get in the way of the lyrical theme of self-understanding and bigger picturing... As Ellen Turner writes/sings:

Cause you take yourself to hell you know

When you could go heavenward

And the force is very strong in you

But your will has the final word.


Grant yourself deliverance...

Please enjoy.

Dudley, "Can I Imagine" 08/18/2026

Dudley, the "cosmic indie-folk-rock" band, has released its long-awaited fourth album out--"Beautiful Confusion," on Household Ink Records.
Each Tuesday, a song from the album will drop into the socials, in the tradition known around the HI office as "Alphabet Jukebox."

Enter "Can I Imagine," Ellen Turner's haunting meditation on the wily ways of desire... and writer's block, and...?

Thawing of a frozen pen,
Tiny movement now and then.
I want to fly, unlimited dance
Come into sweet, internal romance.
What if I won, and then always were there?
Can I imagine?

Please enjoy.
