On the surface, this looks irrational. Streaming is cheaper, faster, and effectively infinite. Vinyl is slow, fragile, and per track about twenty times more expensive.

Aesthetic branding? Or is something more sociologically interesting happening — a quiet refusal of how digital platforms shape the way we listen?
