Background
Leesta Vall was founded by musician Aaron Zimmer in 2012 as a booking agency. They discontinued the agency side of the business and as of 2017 focused exclusively on recording direct-to-vinyl releases that captured live performances.[3] Each individual performance was lathe-cut directly to a 7" vinyl record using modified antique equipment from the 1950s.[4] As of December 2024, the studio permanently ceased operations due to "circumstances beyond our control".[5]

Artists
Artists included Sondre Lerche, Wakey Wakey (band), Pat McGee, Matthew Mayfield, Tony Lucca, Gabe Dixon, Chris Ayer, and Phoebe Hunt (former member of The Belleville Outfit).[6][7] While artists could apply to record at Leesta Vall, Zimmer described the roster as "pretty selective".[8]
